I happen to know about this one because I use synergy all of the time.
synergy is a program which allows one keyboard to control multiple
displays. You move the cursor to the left to get to the screen on the
left, move it to the right to get to the screen on the right. I often
use it to annoy my wife or kids while they're typing on the computer
next to me. :-)
Synergy is a very nice application. It doesn't have to be cygwin aware,
to operate, though.
I'd never tried it with rxvt before but, whaddaya know? WJFFM. This
is with 1.5.19, though.
Anyway, if rxvt works fine using the keyboard on the "other computer",
then the problem clearly has something to do with synergy and this is a
question for the synergy mailing list. If rxvt doesn't work then that's
a question for the cygwin list. I wouldn't expect there to be any
problems with rvxt, however.
And, yes, synergy does have a mailing list.
