Hi all,

At the previous meeting synergy was suggested to me to split between
desktops, which certainly does work after login, however it is
proprietary software.

So I found an even better and libre alternative x11vnc on the remote
computer, and x2vnc on the local one.

Here is a tutorial for setting up so that x11vnc loads at boot-time on
the remote computer:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1868554

Another benefit is that it is usable for setting up VNC on headless
systems.

For the desktop/keyboard sharing x2vnc is as easy as
x2vnc -west host:0

Another benefit of it is that the copy buffer survives across screens
(unlike synergy).

So hope that helps for anyone that wanted an easier and more libre
keyboard/mouse sharing experience on Linux.
