Synchronized screensavers

from Stardock Forums

Yesterday I posted a question how the screen save and screen locks work, while I am waiting  some response, I also want to know whether Multiplicity syncs the screen savers across primary and secondary.

I was told the Synergy has that capability. Can someone elaborate?

MP does not sync screensavers.  It's function is not to have PCs work the same but to be a virtual KVM switch with file copy back and forth.

If it is a virtual KVM, it should be able to at least unlock the screen saver if it is not synched. If the secondary is Vista and part of AD, one needs to type C-A-D to unlock vista. Now, C-A-D can not be sent to secondary vista PC. So, one has to use real keyboard every time it gets screen locked.
If that gets fixed, then synched screensaver might not look important.

Now, C-A-D can not be sent to secondary vista

[ctrl]-[alt]-[backspace] functions as C-A-D on the secondary.  :)

Not on Vista. C-A-B does not do anything. (mentioned in other threads as well). It only works on XP. So, I changed my primary to vista where C-A-D is directly from the real keyboard and made my XP as secondary where C-A-B now works as advertised.
This solves my problem. Well, at least I can come out of locked screen.

control alt backspace works for me on vista ..
I use Vista ultimate 64 , on one of my secondaries.

try with all your control and alt keys

Right control + alt backspace doesn't work , but Left control does.. maybe it's that ..

Moropant: Make sure you have MP 1.21 installed

Also it is possible to change your machine settings to block ctrl-alt-del simulation on Vista.  If you have done so (or your admin has done so) then it cannot be simulated.
