I was just talking about how I couldn’t get QuickSynergy to work in Leopard. Thankfully, I did a little digging and quickly found a solution. Using SynergyKM I have Synergy running between Leopard and XP Pro with no problems. SynergyKM looks a lot more mature than QuickSynergy, and is probably the software package I should have been using all along.
At any rate, I’m happy now!
Weird. I just installed Leopard and am having trouble with SynergyKM (going from an Intel iMac running 10.5 to a G4 tower running 10.4.10).
(Found this via google)

That’s interesting James. I’m getting a lot of Google traffic from people searching for Leopard SynergyKM, so I’m guessing that you’re not alone. I did download the latest copy of SynergyKM and installed it after I had installed Leopard… maybe they’ve updated the program for Leopard? I wish I could be help here…
Thanks for the mention of SynergyKM, works like a champ for me on Leopard.
I have used it for a long time — but the leopard update seems to have kinked the bonjour feature.
I have no problem with my MBP and a tower at work with hard IPs but at home I typically use Bonjour and it’s just ‘looking for peers’.
I can’t seem to get SynergyKM working on Leopard either (that is, connecting a MBP with a Mac Mini both running Leopard). Has anyone managed to work out why it works for some? Is it possible that it works from Mac to Windows but not Mac to Mac?
I’m thinking it’s less a leopard issue and more of an intel/rosetta issue.
SynergyKM-Beta6 worked for me by just double-clicking the prefPane to install. I added the server computer (a Linux box running synergys 1.3.1 on an old FC3 Linux. The client is a MacBook Pro 15″ running 10.5.1 and fully patched.
I’m currently running SynergyKM on my Leopard Powerbook G4 Titanium to connect with my Windows XP Pro PC Desktop and I’ve had zero problems. Works like a charm.
I found that turning off Bonjour support on the Synergy PrefPane allowed me to share my keyboard and mouse without problems. I guess it does have something to do with the Leopard upgrade.
Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.2
Having problems connecting my mac (leopard) to server windows xp (running synergy). saying connection refused. the port is open on the windows firewall, host file is modified to accept host name to ip. Any ideas???? Thanks.
