Scrolling became unusable in this config. However, I took a 5 year hiatus from computing and when I returned and upgraded from Snow Leopard to Sierra, I tried to run this version and it would run and connect my Mac clients okay, but broke the clipboard copy/paste feature and caused scrolling to go into turbo-mode. This Universal Binary build of v1.3.1 has been my long time stable option and it worked well as both a server and client version for many years across my Intel and PPC Macs. Will NOT connect to:v1.7.x or current v1.8.x (Payware) versions. Will connect to:v1.6.3 server running under Leopard - Sierra, Linux and Windows.
#SYNERGY FOR MAC AND PC FOR MAC OS#
Synergy v1.3.1 (PPC / Intel UB for Mac OS X) (See the attached zipped builds for your convenience). However, for compatibility I use the following versions on my Macs. There are many versions of Synergy floating around the internet. I thought back to how much messing around it took to get everything to speak the same language and I decided to do a write-up for other PowerPC users. I've been using Synergy for a while now with a variety of machines and it is almost completely flawless. I know that Teleport is a very good solution for Mac (and notably easier to configure), but it doesn't have the scope of compatibility that I was looking for. So, I can copy on one machine and paste on another (even between operating systems).
The real magic comes with being able to automatically share the clipboard contents. All those extra keyboards and mice are out of sight. No BT pairing/unpairing or USB plugging/unplugging.
#SYNERGY FOR MAC AND PC PRO#
Also, after modifying the Mac Pro *, I now get a Bluetooth range of about 10m, which means I can just pick up the mouse and the little keyboard, wheel my chair to another machine at another desk and I'm on. Move the mouse past the edge of one screen and the next machine picks it up and takes input from the keyboard. But, if I want to, I can control any of the machines in my studio with just a single Apple wireless keyboard and Magic Mouse, which are both paired to a Mac Pro 3,1. I rarely have everything running all at once. Synergy is a long-standing open source solution for sharing your keyboard and mouse across multiple machines with a variety of operating systems.Ĭurrently, I have 3 Intel Macs, 8 PowerPC Macs, a Windows PC and some other obscure systems.
