Linking fails on Solaris. Whats wrong?

Did you add –x-includes=/usr/openwin/include –x-libraries=/usr/openwin/lib to the configure command line? Solaris puts the X11 includes and libraries in an unusual place and the above lets synergy find them. • The screen saver never starts. Why not? If the synergy server is on X Windows then the screen saver will not start while the mouse is on a client screen. This is a consequence of how X Windows, synergy and xscreensaver work. • I can’t switch screens anymore for no apparent reason. Why? This should not happen with 1.1.3 and up. Earlier versions of synergy would not allow switching screens when a key was down and sometimes it would believe a key was down when it was not. • I get the error ‘Xlib: No protocol specified’. Why? You’re running synergy without authorization to connect to the X display. Typically the reason is running synergy as root when logged in as non-root. Just run synergy as the same user that’s logged in. • The cursor goes to secondary screen but won’t come back.
