Clifton Moog Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 Hello! On the recommendation of one of the programmers I work with I picked up Synergy for my home setup. After installation it works beautifully and simplifies how I use my computers. 4 of 4 stars there. However once I started using my desktop as I normally would the wheels fell of the cart. All of these problems happen on my desktop (the server). When playing games (in this case World of Warcraft) right clicking the mouse to move the camera causes the camera to spin wildly out of control. The second problem it does not recognize the right and left tilt middle mouse buttons on my mouse. It wouldn't be a huge issue but I have push to talk mapped to one of those buttons. If I stop the synergy server everything works as normal. My set up. The server is a windows 10 x64 machine with two monitors. I am using a Razer Naga 2014 edition mouse. The client is a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.11. I am using the latest version of Synergy. I've looked at a couple of solution for games but those all seem to focus on the client computers not the server. I've also been unable to find anything for the mouse. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walkabout Tigger Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Not an answer. I have a Dell laptop as a client to my HP laptop. I am using a Logitech M570 trackball attached to the HP. When I have World of Warcraft running on both laptops, the mouse works correctly on the HP laptop. On the Dell laptop, the view spins wildly any time I use the M570 to control the character or the view. Using the client's local touchpad does not exhibit these issues. I *SUSPECT* there is an issue / conflict between the virtual mouse driver (if that is how it is implemented) and the touchpad driver, but I have not yet experimented with uninstalling the trackpad driver and disabling it. I am also going to try installing the M570 driver on the Dell client laptop. I am using Synergy 1.8.8-stable-25a8cb2. The server is running Windows 10 Pro 64-bit. The client is running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. My next steps: 1) Uninstall touchpad driver and disable touchpad hardware and test. 2) Install M570 driver on client and test. 3) Combination of steps 1 and 2 4) Install a wired external trackball on client (I despise touchpads for the most part, but use them when necessary - airplanes and the like). 5) Examine DXDiag diagnostic dump to determine if this is a DirectX pointer issue / conflict with the QuickTime pointer interface.

Although some steps work for others, but some aren't working. Currently, it is labeled to be up in v1.10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted it to a new thread here. Considering the bug in GitHub related to this issue has been opened since 2014, when can I expect some form of resolution, whether that is a working version of Synergy or a refund?

No response from Support in a week. When can I expect either some forward progress on the issue in the support queue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
