Hi,
is anyone here using Synergy (see synergy2.sf.net) to make the mouse go
smoothly from host to guest? At first glance, I'd say Synergy offers
much of the stuff that's necessary for easing the use of Qemu: it can
transport mouse and keyboard commands to another machine (to the Qemu
guest), and it offers clipboard sharing.

At second glance, Synergy moves the mouse pointer only when it reaches a
 screen border (for good interaction with Qemu, it should move the
pointer whenever the Qemu windows is clicked or something like that).
Also, communication is done over TCP/IP, which might not be available in
all Qemu guests.

So, any ideas here on how to easily use Qemu and Synergy? IMHO, Qemu
would greatly benefit from these features. But I don't see a way to
integrate the two programs. Do you?

Regards,
Oliver Gerlich
