Aside from some odd keyboard mapping (linux meta -> osx opt, linux alt
-> osx cmd), it seems to behaving properly here.
I don't see any stuck key issues.
I'm using synergy on Fedora 11 ppc rawhide and on OSX, I'm using
X11-2.3.3 and the osx synergy binaries downloaded from:
http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=59275&filename=synergy-1.3.1-1.OSX.tar.gz&a=80918064
Can you please try those binaries instead of the ones from fink?

Hi,
I'm having what I think is a problem with X11, XQuartz 2.3.2
(really
2.3.2.1, but the "About" window doesn't include the .1), xorg-server
1.4.2-apple31.
The problem is in use of the popular program Synergy (c.f.
http://synergy2.sourceforge.net) which allows me to share a mouse
and
keyboard across two systems as if I had one system with two
monitors, but
each system is running its own stuff.
[snip]
I'd guess that this is a problem with synergy rather than a problem
with X11 or the apple X11 system...but I am emailing this list in
case
anybody has any ideas or has had this problem before. As
mentioned, this
problem only occurs in X11 windows...and it's not always a problem
(sometimes keypresses do not stick).

Adam,
You need to enable XTEST I believe. xdpyinfo will tell you if it's
enabled.
I seem to recall that Jeremy added something at my request, after I
pointed out how important XTEST was. It was disabled by default for
security reasons. I originally had some ideas of testing XQuartz
in a
more automated way, but I never got around to implementing those
ideas,
due to time constraints.
I have some experience with XTEST because I wrote some code that is
used by myself and others for recording, and playing back events with
it via scripts. I used it for a test framework.
Jeremy, do you recall what the option was or defaults write command
was?
George
I may have read too quickly... I didn't realize there was a Mac-
specific Synergy. I thought it was an X11-specific thing. You may
still need to enable XTEST anyway, based on what the home page says.
Good luck,
George
