Significant mouse lag on secondary monitor in Multiplicity

Just upgraded to 1.00h[b].003 [Beta]

Published on April 6, 2005 By ZubaZ In Multiplicity

First, things I like:
Num-lock not syncing!!!
Keystroke to toggle between PCs!
Switch based on mouse velocity (may have to reboot, not working yet. Where do I set threshold?)

Things not working that I don't know if I like or not:
Screen darkening on secondary

Things that I don't like:
Wicked lag on secondary mouse action. Seems to get much worse when dragging windows or scroll bars. (And it seems to jump to the upper left corner, but that may be Tablet related; it gets goofiy when the light is bad)
Advanced user options not with the other configure options. Bad UI, bad.

Awesome app! Keep up the great work.

I so agree with the above comments - great idea as software goes but very buggy. I lose cursors all over the place on the other machines. My laptop is available some times and not others and setup on all machines was a nightmare. I really hope they can make this work - especially the latency problem - I get this even on a Gigabit network with nothing else going on - according to Ethereal there is just a stream of stuff from Multiplicity.

I have had severe mouse lagging at time, a constant ping on my 1 GBit between my two machines showed latency from 1 ms to 450 ms.

I then adjusted the transmit and receive buffers on the secondary machine from 50 to 100 (it's a Marvell Yukon based). This can be configured in the drivers for the netcard. Since the I have had almost no lagging, and latency is between 1 and 6 ms.
