I had problems with @, <, and >, so I did the following:
Code:
xmodmap -e "keycode 53 = x X greater greater greater greater"
xmodmap -e "keycode 52 = z Z less less less less"
xmodmap -e "keycode 24 = q Q at at at at"
Which solved those three... though I have no idea why the problem occurs in the first place.

This is a known issue, and we're working on it right now. There are several work arounds however, so if you take a peek at that issue, you may find something. If you have a Google account, you can star the issue to get a notification when it's fixed.
2Nick - is there a new link for that bug in the tracker please? – Danny Staple – 2014-09-17T12:39:20.160
here is the link to this issue on the new tracker: https://github.com/symless/synergy/issues/62

Create a file ~/.Xmodmap and add the following to it:
keycode 53 = x X greater greater greater greater
keycode 52 = z Z less less less less
keycode 24 = q Q at at at at
You can activate it straight away with:
xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
I believe this will activate automatically when you reboot - but I hardly ever reboot, so haven't tested this.
Thanks (and +1) to Systech's answer for the contents of the file, and thanks to this page for instructions on how to make it persist across reboots.

pobably a keycode translation problem. Have a look at the synergy configuration. You should use the same language settings as locally
i cant find the synergy config on fedora any ideas? – whoami – 2009-12-02T12:01:21.990
There are two possible locations for the synergy server config file, either ~/.synergy.conf
or /etc/synergy.conf
- however, this will not help fix the issue, since it's a software bug and not a config problem. – Nick Bolton – 2010-01-12T05:47:44.503

locate synergy.conf, its probably in /etc
The synergy server config is also located at ~/.synergy.conf
(but modifying the config is unlikely fix the problem). – Nick Bolton – 2010-01-12T05:49:41.520
2@nbolton Any chance of an actual fix instead of this workaround? – Danny Staple – 2014-09-17T14:59:52.690
1Boy.. How you worked that out I'll never know, I thank you. My wife thanks you!!! – Jamie Hutber – 2016-03-02T12:15:37.240
I lose it when I reset the machine though :( – Jamie Hutber – 2016-03-14T16:14:31.087
My keyboard on the linux machine works fine, Its on Synergy that it fails. – whoami – 2009-12-02T12:00:05.970
1@Systech I just added your work around to our bug tracker. – Nick Bolton – 2010-01-13T17:38:18.970
