Problem
I am trying to implement mouse wrap around using 1 individual PC. Synergy is the closest tool I have found which (kind of) achieves this.
I have 3 monitors on an Ubuntu Linux 18.04 PC in the configuration 1 - 2 - 3
I run both the Synergy client and server on the same PC.
Moving the mouse across 1 - 2 - 3 behaves normally.
Moving the mouse off the left hand side of 1 results in the mouse reappearing in the centre of 1.
When moving the mouse off the right edge of 3 results in the mouse butting up against the screen edge.

Solution
Moving the mouse off the left hand side of 1 should result in the mouse reappearing on the right hand side of 3.
Moving the mouse off the right hand side of 3 should result in the mouse reappearing on the left hand side of 1.
Perhaps the ability to run Synergy in the above configuration in a 'standalone' mode.

Barrier does this. In this example you could remove the Laptop and iMac & have Desktop1 right & left reference Desktop1 and it should work.
