I'm having a similar issue with my new Mac mini that I just setup. It's the M1 version from 2020 running 12.6.  In my case I have a Logi keyboard that allows me to pair to multiple computers, so I have to switch it to the Mac mini to 'wake it up', then synergy will reconnect and allow access.  When looking at the normal logs from the client I see the following.

[2022-09-28T00:36:07] FATAL: A display invalid exception error occurred: failed to initialize screen shape
[2022-09-28T00:36:17] ERROR: process exited with error code: 1
[2022-09-28T00:36:17] INFO: detected process not running, auto restarting
[2022-09-28T00:36:18] INFO: starting client

I'm going to try turning on debug logging now to see if I get better logs.  Will probably open a support case as well.


Thanks,

Nevin

So with debug2 enabled here's the logging I see every 10 or so seconds.

[2022-09-28T09:43:59] DEBUG1: logging to file (/Users/nabsher/synergy.log) enabled
[2022-09-28T09:43:59] DEBUG1: starting client
[2022-09-28T09:43:59] DEBUG1: thread 0x00000002 entry
[2022-09-28T09:43:59] DEBUG1: caught cancel on thread 0x00000002
[2022-09-28T09:43:59] FATAL: A display invalid exception error occurred: failed to initialize screen shape

Repeats that until I manually wake up the client with the keyboard.  All the while the device is accessible via network connections, so it's not fully asleep.

Thanks,

Nevin

I'm having this problem too, using Synergy 1 Pro. Is there anything I can do to get the machine to respond to Synergy input while still having the display turn off?

I bought the Synergy 3 RC3 v3.0.79.1-rc3 and set up my Mac Studios as the sever with a Dell Inspiron laptop as the client. I am using a Dell U3223QE monitor and everything was working okay with the Logitech mouse and MX key S keyboard. Today (the day after setting the system up) I could not get my Mac Studio to wake up. I could see the mouse but the keyboard would not work to put in my password on the Mac. I had to use the Mac keyboard to wake up my Mac. I am new to the Logitech keyboard and to Synergy, so I may be missing something about getting my Mac to wake up using the connected Logitech keyboard. Any ideas, hotkey settings, anyone know how to make it work?
