Works great on Fedora 13. One note - you may want to add the flag -9 to your killall commands in case something goes wrong with synergyc.

I didn't mod /etc/gdm/Presession/Default, instead I created an entry in System->Preferences->"Startup Applications".

I can get it to work after performing Logout. But once I restart the workstation, Synergy won't connect. Do you have a way to workaround this scenario as well?
Thanks!

Simple easy steps. Good write-up.
Works on RH Fedora 11.

Funny - I have had all this running on the mini for some time : )

The only weirdness I've seen with Synergy and Fedora + OSX is:

1) syncrhonizing screensavers (Fedora will still have a display, but you can't type anything or move the mouse) while OSX has a locked screen
2) periodically, Fedora will "forget" all about Synergyc and your control goes back to the mini. You must wait seconds for the connection to reestablish before working in that screen again. This is particularly fun when you have someone on the phone!

Yeah, I'm having frustrations synchronizing screen savers in Ubuntu 8.04 and CentOS 5. It works just fine in Fedora 8.

To add a little more convenience if your IP is not static, you can add the IP to the hosts file of course and just use the hostname in the Default files.

Now if you can get the screensaver and the key mapping to work like it's supposed to, let me know!
