Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/1846

What happened?

Both the Server and the Client are running. The Server log shows that the the Client (a raspberrypi) is connected, and the client log shows that it connected to the right IP address.
But still no matter which edge of the screens i go to it is not switching to the raspberrypi.
It "worked" for a few seconds where I could at least rightclick on the client desktop.

For the setup I had to switch keyboard and mouse between the devices, does have to do with that?

Version

v2.4.0

Git commit hash (if applicable)

No response

If applicable, where did you install Barrier from?

What OS versions are you using?

Server: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
Client is raspbian I think which version I dont know, am new to raspberry Pi's

[2022-11-29T16:32:30] NOTE: accepted client connection

Any other information

I am using 2 screens on my server. And the Pi is using the same screen that is the main screen on the server.
I am switching sources manually on the screen.

Could your issue be related to SSL? I'm also a new user who had a similar experience but I fixed it by disabling SSL in the options. (See #1674.)

I also have only one keyboard and one mouse so I had to unplug/plug them in a few times during setup, but it works for me now. So that's probably not why it's not working for you.
