i do agree that synergy has more "ability" but what i like about x2x is that it doesn't require much to get it up and running i.e. - download the package - install package on the remote machine - ssh to the remote machine enabling X11 forwarding and you're done, something like "ssh -X <IP-ADDRESS> x2x -east -to :0"
