Does anyone know of any existing tools/programs that allow a single keyboard and mouse to be switched between multiple machines ?
For example, if I move the mouse off the left edge of host1's screen I would like it to appear at the right edge of host2's screen.
x2x and x2vnc are the first things that come to mind - x2x is a relatively established piece of kit, and I have had success with both, in mixed environments (x2x will talk to any x-windows screen and x2vnc will talk to any VNC server so you can have windoze in the mix).

HTH,

I've already been looking at evdev and that seems like a good starting point.
Sometimes 4 keyboards and mice get in the way ! And please don't reply with "buy a KVM" because that would be a kludge !
