Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/399

Operating Systems

Server: macOS mojave 10.14.6

Client: manjaro + dde on xorg

Barrier Version

server: 2.3.1 release 58d8f020
client: barrierc 2.2.0-RELEASE

Steps to reproduce bug

on client machine, use native mouse draw gesture, no problem
connect client to server
move cursor to client, draw gesture, nothing happen.

Other info

When did the problem start to occur? When I...
Always. In fact, all software KVM solution ( at least I experienced, for exam synergy ) not work with easygesture, since it requires XInput2.
Is there a way to work around it?
Not found; though I can modify code to utility XTest for mouse moving, unfortunately easygesture blocks it since it makes use of it too, forcedly enabling it makes logical recursion.
Does this bug prevent you from using Barrier entirely?
Not entirely.

My suggestion: consider writing a complete libinput extension, instead of simple rely on Xinerama or XTest. This way should resolve both Wayland Support( #109 ) and easystroke(via xf86-input-libinput)

@shymega commented on GitHub (Aug 17, 2019):

Writing a libinput extension feels like a good step forward in implementing Wayland support, and resolving your issue. Resolving two bugs with one stone, so to speak... the memory leak bugs are my main priority at the moment, given the potential for a DoS attack. But Wayland support is certainly important as well.

CC: @AdrianKoshka - can you add this to the Wayland project?
