What happened?

Hello all,
I have used barrier for many years. Never really had a problem until now. The issue I'm having is when I lock the macbook and try to wake it up again for some reason the screen doesn't turn on. I have to connect another keyboard and wake it up that way. Once the log in screen comes up I'm able to move my mouse to the log in page and enter my password.

Below is my setup .

Server - Raspberry Pi
Win 10 - client
Macbook M1 - Client

| macbook |

  ^
   |

| Win 10 | < - | Raspberry PI |

That's my current layout. From right to left I have my Raspberry pi then win10 and above Macbook.

Can't figure out the issue if it's a macbook setting or a barrier setting.

Anyone have any kind of issue waking up a macbook after you lock it?

Please try Deskflow or Input Leap as Barrier is no longer in development.

https://github.com/deskflow/deskflow
https://github.com/input-leap/input-leap

Both are compatible with Barrier client/server so you can try on one of your computers.

If this is still an issue in those projects, we would appreciate a cross-post of this issue.

Not sure which to use? The 'Insights' tab of each project may help you decide.

Lovely Thanks. I will check both. I guess will try Deskflow first.. as it is been updated more recently.
