Description: | |
Port of the week is now presenting you **x2x** which stands for _X to | |
X connection_. This is a really tiny tool in one executable file that | |
let you move your mouse and use your keyboard on another X server than | |
yours. It's like the other tool synergy but easier to use and | |
open-source (I think synergy isn't open source anymore). | |
If you want to use the computer on your left, just use the following | |
command (x2x must be installed on it and ssh available) | |
``` | |
$ ssh -CX the_host_address "x2x -west -to :0.0" | |
``` | |
and then you can move your cursor to the left of your screen and you | |
will see that you can use your cursor or type with the keyboard on | |
your other computer ! I am using it to manage a wall of screen made of | |
raspberry Pi first generation. I used to connect to it with VNC but it | |
was very very slow. | |
