Thanks for pointing out x2vnc and x2x. I didn't knew about them.
- From what I can see they have quite similar functionality as synergy,
only that synergy (if I understand correctly) works with Linux, Windows
and Mac, and the master computer doesn't necessarily have to run Linux
(correct me if I'm wrong).
Btw. according to the synergy developer there's a big refactoring
planned, which might add support for things like Qemu interaction (see
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1371199&forum_id=199579).
Also see
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1372094&forum_id=199579
about changing the transport layer. Although such functionality not
absolutely necessary, it would certainly help :)
Regards,
Oliver
