DEBUG: send xscreensaver command, but screenSaverSync = false

[Brian Minsky]

I'm serving from Fedora 25 (4.11.5-200.fc25.x86_64) to Windows 10 over a wired network.

The .synergy.conf on my Linux machine specifies "screenSaverSync = false" in the options section. Each time I move my mouse from the Windows machine back to the Linux machine, journalctl shows:

synergys[23678]: [2017-07-05T13:11:50] DEBUG: send xscreensaver command: 529 0 0
synergys[23678]:         /builddir/build/BUILD/synergy-1.7.6-stable/src/lib/platform/XWindowsScreenSaver.cpp,429

Here's my full .synergy.conf:

section: screens
	win-machine:
		halfDuplexCapsLock = false
		halfDuplexNumLock = false
		halfDuplexScrollLock = false
		xtestIsXineramaUnaware = false
		switchCorners = none 
		switchCornerSize = 0
	linux-machine:
		halfDuplexCapsLock = false
		halfDuplexNumLock = false
		halfDuplexScrollLock = false
		xtestIsXineramaUnaware = false
		switchCorners = none 
		switchCornerSize = 0
end

section: aliases
end

section: links
	win-machine:
		left = linux-machine
	linux-machine:
		right = win-machine
end

section: options
	relativeMouseMoves = false
	screenSaverSync = false
	win32KeepForeground = false
	switchCorners = none 
	switchCornerSize = 0
end

Please provide more details about your machines (OS, 32/64 bit, Synergy version installed, connected to the network via Ethernet or Wi-Fi, specify which one is the server). Also, post a screenshot of both machine's Synergy interface and the Server Configuration interface on your server machine.

Server: Fedora 25, 64-bit

synergys 1.7.6, protocol version 1.6 

I run Synergy from the command-line, so I have no interface to screenshot.

Running command: /usr/bin/synergys --no-daemon --restart -c /home/<username>/.synergy.conf -l /var/log/synergys.log

.synergy.conf on Linux server:

		halfDuplexCapsLock = false
		halfDuplexNumLock = false
		halfDuplexScrollLock = false
		xtestIsXineramaUnaware = false
		switchCorners = none 
		switchCornerSize = 0
	linux-machine:
		halfDuplexCapsLock = false

Here's an example of what hits the log when I move the mouse: host -> client -> host:

Please update Synergy to the latest version available. The current version you have is outdated.
