Scott Bilas Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I had been using the 1.6 series of Synergy with no problems between my PC as a server and my Mac laptop. PC has three 1920x1200 monitors (two horizontal stacked, one vertical to the left of them), and the Mac is setup to be the right of the PC. When I upgraded the stacked monitors to 4K's (3840x2160) Synergy no longer works, even on the current 1.7.1. If I move my mouse part way across the lower right monitor, the log shows it as leaving my Windows computer's screens and going to the Mac. Yet now the pointer is permanently gone. Alt-tabbing from the PC shows that the Mac is indeed focused, but I can't find the mouse. Have to quit Synergy to get it back. Is this a bug in Synergy or something I need to configure in it? Possibly relevant: I have my 4K monitors set to 4/6 on the scale in the Control Panel's "Change the size of all items" DPI setting and the "Let me choose one scaling level for all my displays" is unchecked. PC: Windows 8.1 x64, Mac: 10.10.3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antony Woods Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 This fixed it for me: On Windows machines with HiDPI screens, synergy malfunctions. To fix this, change the compatibility mode for the synergys.exe and syngergyc.exe to "Deactivate scaling for hiDPI" and "run as Windows 7" for "All Users". http://synergy-project.org/wiki/Synergy ... on_windows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Bilas Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 Didn't occur to me that it would be a DPI issue. Thanks! This worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
