Synergy autostart

[SLudJ]

Hi all

A complete noob so please be patient!!

I have bee trying to get Synergy to autostart on a second machine running FC6.

Everything is fine once logged in but no mouse or keyboard on the login screen.

I have spent hours on google and how to's but none of the advice seems to get it
working on the login screen!!!!

Anybody got any ideas?

if you use KDE you can add a symbolic link in ~/.kde/Autostart to the programs and they will automatically start when you log in.
ln -s /path/someprogram

Yeah but that won't help at the login screen, aka gdm's greeter.

Synergy is sweet stuff.

OK thanks for all of your input, l have managed to get it working.
I had to modify the /etc/gdm files, l was modifying the wrong ones.
The "How To" that l first looked at was pointing me in the wrong place.

Anyway thank you for all your help.

The sequence I used for synergy on FC6:

Edit /etc/gdm/Init/Default and add just before exit 0:
/usr/bin/killall synergyc
sleep 1
/usr/bin/synergyc <serverip>

Copy /etc/gdm/PostLogin/Default.sample to /etc/gdm/PostLogin/Default
Edit /etc/gdm/PostLogin/Default and add to the end:
/usr/bin/killall synergyc
sleep 1

Edit /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default and add just before exit 0:
/usr/bin/killall synergyc
sleep 1
/usr/bin/synergyc <serverip>

Hope this helps others.
