Hello...
Just started using Input director and it is exactly what I need...
but.

I have a laptop that I use as master between two monitors on the same
slave system. There appears to be no way to reflect this layout in the
desktop. I want to be able to move mouse from left to right seamlessly
and transition to my slave any time I fall off the main screen. Some
older emails said that some effort would be spent evaluating this
configuration. Any updates?

Raymond,

If what you have is:

Slave Master Slave
Display Display
1 2

then define slave as left of Master and to the right of master
define master as to the right of the slave and to the left of the
slave
you will have to tell windows on the slave that the monitor to your
right is the left monitor and the monitor to your left is the right
monitor.
you need to have cursor wraparound set on in Master configuration

To visualize this, physically set it up like this:

Master SD2 SD1

Set up windows on the slave and ID to work so that the cursor moves
continually around to each display as you move to the right
and the same thing as you move to the left. Then physically move SD1
to the left of the master.

I haven't tried it, but I think it will work.

This can work - the key is to turn the "Cursor Wraparound" feature on
(found on the "Master Configuration" tab).

Regs,

I have the same problem, but this solution does not work always. Sometimes cursor forgets to jump on master screen. It moves only from slave 1 to slave 2 and from slave 2 to slave 1. Only sometimes it jumps according to wraparound function (for example in 1 from 10 cases when I pass from master to one of slaves). Is there any solution how to force wraparound function to work properly always?
