I Did NOT have this problem when my Synergy Server was on Windows. When I switched my Synergy Server to my Red Hat Linux box, I noticed my Back\/Forward mouse buttons didn’t work.<\/p>\n

After searching around for a bit, adding the following lines to your synergy.conf file fixed this.<\/p>\n

$ sudo vi \/etc\/synergy.conf<\/p>\n

section: options
\n  mousebutton(6) = keystroke(WWWBack)
\n  mousebutton(7) = keystroke(WWWForward)
\n  mousebutton(4) = ;
\n  mousebutton(5) = ;
\nend<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So with my current setup (sk-win7 <-> sk-redhat <-> sk-ubuntu) with sk-redhat being my Synergy Server, my \/etc\/synergy.conf looks like:<\/p>\n

section: screens
\n  sk-redhat:
\n  sk-win7:
\n  sk-ubuntu:
\nend<\/p>\n

section: aliases
\n  sk-win7:
\n  10.4.1.1
\nend<\/p>\n

section: links
\n  sk-redhat:
\n    left = sk-win7
\n    right = sk-ubuntu
\n  sk-win7:
\n    right = sk-redhat
\n  sk-ubuntu:
\n    left = sk-redhat
\nend<\/p>\n

section: options
\n  mousebutton(6) = keystroke(WWWBack)
\n  mousebutton(7) = keystroke(WWWForward)
\n  mousebutton(4) = ;
\n  mousebutton(5) = ;
\nend\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

After adding this section, I was able to get my mouse back\/forward buttons to work on all of my boxes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
