Mouse issue using SuSE Linux

United Linux 1.0 powered SuSE Linux Enterprise 8.0 users might experience mouse issues when rebooting
with Remote Console. To correct this issue, select PS/2 mouse (Aux-port) type when prompted by YaST
mouse configuration application in text mode.
If iLO Remote Console is closed and use of the mouse wheel is desired on a wheel mouse connected to
the server, run YaST2 Control Center and select Intelli/Wheel mouse (Aux-port).

Remote Console mouse control issue

While using Remote Console on a server running Microsoft® Windows® Server 2003, mouse movement
can be slow, and it might be difficult to navigate to each of the four corners of the screen. When trying to
reach a far corner of the screen, the mouse can disappear completely.
NOTE:
in a browser applet window that is smaller than the size of the server screen, and scrolling is
required to see the full contents of the screen, which are not displayed.
To resolve this issue:
Select Start>Settings>Control Panel>Mouse Properties from the Windows® Server 2003 desktop
1.
applet.
Disable the Enhance pointer precision parameter.
2.
If mouse movement is still sluggish:
Select Start>Settings>Control Panel>Display>Settings>Advanced>Troubleshooting> from the

Emulating a PS/2 keyboard in a headless server environment

iLO will emulate a PS/2 keyboard in a headless server environment. When iLO detects that the server is
going through POST, iLO scans for a PS/2 keyboard. If no local PS/2 keyboard is detected, iLO will be
the PS/2 keyboard for the server.

Troubleshooting Remote Console problems

The following sections discuss troubleshooting Remote Console issues. In general:
Pop-up blockers prevent Remote Console and Virtual Serial Port from starting.
Pop-up blocking applications that are set to prevent the automatic opening of new windows prevent
Remote Console and Virtual Serial Port from running. Disable any pop-up blocking programs before
starting Remote Console or Virtual Serial Port.
This mouse behavior is more pronounced when the Remote Console session is running
