[Discuss] share keyboard/video/mouse with 2 desktops

[markw at mohawksoft.com]

Imagine.....

A windows system with a monitor, a mac laptop. a Linux system with a
monitor. Bouncing from keyboard and mouse is a PITA. Synergy allows you to
connect the mouse and keyboard to one system and seamlessly move the mouse
across all three monitors, and which ever monitor has the mouse, gets the
keyboard.

It "feels" like a single system from a keyboard/mouse point of view.
Granted it is not as tight as it could be, but that would be WAY more work
and be a far bigger project. Like, having windows straddle monitors would
be way cool, but that would be work down to the driver level.
