Trying to setup Synergy, and can't seem to get it right. Here's the config:
Server configuration:
section: screens
LAPTOP:
halfDuplexCapsLock = false
halfDuplexNumLock = false
halfDuplexScrollLock = false
xtestIsXineramaUnaware = false
switchCorners = none +top-left +bottom-left
switchCornerSize = 0
TV:
halfDuplexCapsLock = false
halfDuplexNumLock = false
halfDuplexScrollLock = false
xtestIsXineramaUnaware = false
switchCorners = none +top-right +bottom-right
switchCornerSize = 0
end
section: links
LAPTOP:
right = TV
TV:
left = LAPTOP
end
section: options
relativeMouseMoves = false
screenSaverSync = false
win32KeepForeground = false
switchCorners = none
switchCornerSize = 0
keystroke(F12) = lockCursorToScreen(toggle)
end
When I connect, the server log shows:

However, even though everything seems to be connected, my mouse on my laptop never leaves it's current screen.
I don't see any debug messages that could help. Anybody see anything I'm doing wrong?
TIA
It turns out you can use Scroll Lock to keep the mouse stuck on one screen! So try pressing ScrollLock to see if that releases the mouse.
I was just using Fedora 28 and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, The Scroll lock didn't help. But what did help was
and voila!
upgraded from 1.4.8 to 1.4.10 and this problem appeared for me
Server: win7-64bit Synergy-v1.4.10 Client: Thinkpad T430s Ubuntu-v12.04-32bit Synergy-v1.4.10
tried with a different machine on the client side and still no go: Client: Thinkpad T420s Ubuntu-v12.10-32bit Synergy-v1.4.10
also tried using the 1.4.8 client in Ubuntu with the 1.4.10 Server in windows and same problems.
so I finally uninstalled synergy 1.4.10 from the client and the server and re-installed v1.4.8 on both and everything works great. same config used on both versions so not that...
