Added

  • Linux: MouseX is in the applications menu. Opening it starts MouseX if it is stopped and shows the status window; right-click it for Restart and, on the main computer, Arrange screens. The status window has a Restart button (Start while stopped).
  • Windows clients: a LocalSystem service starts an input-only helper at boot, so an already-paired computer can receive keyboard and mouse input at the Windows login and lock screens. The normal user agent takes over after sign-in and forwards secure-desktop input through a local pipe restricted to SYSTEM and Administrators. The helper does not handle clipboard, files or UI. Ctrl+Alt+Del is not forwarded.

Fixed

  • Linux main computer: after the screen was locked the cursor could stop crossing until MouseX was restarted by hand. When libei or the capture ends, the agent now restarts by itself; behind the lock screen it waits for the unlock before asking again to allow the capture.
  • A screen that reconnects with a new ID (flaky USB-C/HDMI cable, reboot) takes over its old place in the layout instead of being added again as a duplicate.
