Use synergy with Physical KVM
- by Mr. Man
I am using synergy on a Linux Mint computer as the server with a Mac as the client. I also have a physical KVM switch. The problem I have is that when ever I switch the physical KVM to my Mac, synergy stops working as in the keyboard and mouse don't work with the Mac.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: here are some logs:
