I use Synergy at home to control several computers with 1 mouse/keyboard. Just a heads up, when you tun boxee on one of the computers that is a Synergy client, you get REALLY messed up mouse movements. Its unusable, really. Anyway, just thought I would throw that out there. Probably not alot of users using Synergy, but thought you should know.

Being able to use synergy with Boxee would be very helpful, as it will let you control your media pc with your laptop... Otherwise I'll have to hook up a wireless mouse and keyboard just for my media center.

Has anyone using synergy noticed that when moving the mouse from boxee to your serving computer, boxee falls out of full screen?

Yeah I have the same time... I'm wondering if I can change Synergy to switch on Button Combination instead of sliding the mouse... So we will see...

EDIT: Setup Button Combo for switching screens and it doesn't help... Something kicking Boxee out of FS when you scroll off screen with Boxee... But when you bring it back and wait a couple seconds it returns back to where it was before... So I'll keep messing and see what happens... I think it has to do with the mouse pointer itself... Not 100% sure...

SECOND EDIT: Seems that I have fixed my issue... Instead of running quicksynergy on Ubuntu 9.04 I started the Synergy client through SSH... And it seems as though it no longer drops out of fullscreen when I switch...
