x2vnc

[Quentin Stafford-Fraser]

Fredrik Hubinette <hubbe "at" hubbe.net> has come up with a very neat use for
VNC; as an alternative to a keyboard/mouse switch.  It's based on the
popular x2x program, and it works like this:

If you run x2vnc on an X server, you can move off the side of the screen
and the mouse movements will then be sent to a VNC server (usually on
another machine eg. a PC sitting beside it)  This allows you to control
both computers from one mouse/keyboard, and move naturally between
them.  It has the additional benefit of simple cut & paste between the
two machines.

He has made x2vnc available for download from his web site:
http://www.hubbe.net/~hubbe/x2vnc.html

And it'll be on the contrib pages very soon.  Now we need a windows
version, for when neither of your machines uses X...
