I'm using an Apple bluetooth keybord to control my Linux synergy server. SSH tunneling, Mouse, Keyboard, and Copy&Paste all work.
Linux sees all the media/app keys that are on top of the F# keys correctly. However if I press any of those keys while controlling my OSX client, nothing happens on the client.
Running synergys with -d DEBUG1 I can see the following keycode info: Pressing the "dim monitor" key that also serves as F1 generates:
new mask: 0x2000
event: KeyPress code=232, state=0x0010
new mask: 0x2000
If I press "fn" and the same key, I can see it sending what I'm assuming is an F1:
event: KeyPress code=67, state=0x0010
onKeyDown id=61374 mask=0x2000 button=0x0043
send key down to "foo.cisco.com" id=61374, mask=0x2000, button=0x0043
new mask: 0x2000
event: KeyRelease code=67, state=0x0010
onKeyUp id=61374 mask=0x2000 button=0x0043
send key up to "foo.cisco.com" id=61374, mask=0x2000, button=0x0043
I'm guessing I need to tweak my synergy.conf so that the server sends keys that it currently isn't. I'm also not sure what I need to do to tweak the keys that it is sending, but are not working.
Below are all the other keys I'm having issues with. Does anyone have any idea how I can enable their functionality?
