server using wrong resol'n; can't reach client


Recommended Posts

chris gallant

I'm a long time user w/ a simple side-by-side 2 monitor setup. The left monitor is 1920x1200, the right is 1440x900. The server uses both as an extended desktop, whereas the client uses only the right monitor. While running version synergy-v1.7.6-stable-51705f7-Windows-x64, synergy one day just stopped working (Windows update was the only software changed). It turns out that the server was starting w/ incorrect horizontal resolution, "--res-w 4200" (should be 3360), thus the mouse can never reach the right edge of the desktop. (I can move the mouse pointer to the right edge of the right screen fine, but its x coordinate will never get to 4200)

 

If I alter my Display's Settings to 'Show only [monitor] 1', the server detects the change, resets the resolution (1920) and now I can reach the client.

 

I've updated to synergy-v1.8.4-stable-a6ff907-Windows-x64 and the problem persists.

Figured it out!

 

With resolution @ 1920x1200, I was using 'Scaling' display setting of 125% to make text more readable.

(The slide bar above Orientation in Settings - Display)

 

Apparently, Windows 10 changed how they reported it, causing Synergy to think I had more pixels and so

could never reach the right edge of the screen(s).

 

I blame Windows by default, because it updates in the background and I would surely notice if I installed a

new version of Synergy and it stopped working. AMD updates in the background too, but my money's on MS.

 

Anyway, setting the 'Scaling' back to 100% fixes the Synergy problem. Windows lets you set font sizes for

Title bars, menus, icons, etc. but that is only a partial solution. E.g. the text in Control Panel where this feature

is located does NOT change ( *#$@ing Microsoft)
