I've been using a program called Synergy (<a href="http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/">http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/</a>) for a while now. The program allows me to use one mouse/keyboard with two different computers with their own monitors. The "server" portion of the program runs on my WinXP box and the "client" runs on a Mandrake
9.1 machine. The program works flawlessly but I haven't been able to figure out how to start the program at boot. It doesn't work when I put it in my cron, and in fact, for some reason I can't even start this program by SSHing into the linux machine. So if I ever restart the linux box(which is rare, but still) I actually have to plug a keyboard in to start the program. Now, the website has a section on configuring the program to autostart (
<a href="http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/autostart.html">http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/autostart.html</a>) and I have the files listed, with the exception of my <span class="code">Xsetup file being named </span><span class="code">
Xsetup_0 but the files don't seem to be of a format that I'm used to, for example all of the configurations in the </span><span class="code">Xsetup_0 file are prepended by "if" or "fi", and I don't really understand what that's all about. So, anyway, I'm a little leery about screwing with these config files, (which I know makes me a n00b ;) )
<br><br>Does anyone use this program or have any advice for me to get this program to start at boot?<br><br>Thanks in advance,<br><br>Vince<br><br><br>PS: I just started using urpmi, so cool!<br></span>
