Single And Double Mouse Mode; Recommended Mouse Settings; Video Modes - Austin Hughes Electronics Cyberview D-117 User Manual

Windows XP Mouse Settings
Windows XP knows a setting named "improve mouse acceleration", which has to
be deactivated.
Active Desktop
If the Active Desktop feature of Microsoft Windows is enabled do not use a plain
background. Instead, use some kind of wallpaper. As an alternative, you could
also disable the Active Desktop completely.
Navigate your mouse pointer into the upper left corner of the applet screen and
move it slightly forth and back. Thus the mouse will be resynchronized. If
re-synchronizing fails, disable the mouse acceleration and repeat the procedure.

4.2.5 Single and Double Mouse Mode

The information above applies to the Double Mouse Mode, where remote and local
mouse pointers are visible and need to be synchronized. The IP-KVM switch also
features another mode, the Single Mouse Mode, where only the remote mouse
pointer is visible. Activate this mode in the open Remote Console and click into the
window area. The local mouse pointer will be hidden and the remote one can be
controlled directly. To leave this mode, it is necessary to define a mouse hotkey in the
Remote Console Settings Panel. Press this key to free the captured local mouse
pointer.

4.2.6 Recommended Mouse Settings

For the different operating systems we can give the following advice:
MS Windows 2000/2003 (Professional and Server) and XP (all versions)
In general, we recommend the usage of a mouse via USB. Choose USB without
Mouse Sync. For a PS/2 mouse choose Auto Mouse Speed. For XP disable the option
"enhance pointer precision" in the Control Panel.
SUN Solaris
Adjust the mouse settings either via xset m 1 or use the CDE Control Panel to set the
mouse to "1:1, no acceleration". As an alternative you may also use the Single Mouse
Mode.
MAC OS X
We recommend using the Single Mouse Mode.

4.2.7 Video Modes

The IP-KVM switch recognizes a limited number of common video modes. When
running X11 on the host system, please do not use any custom mode lines with special
video modes. If you do, the IP-KVM switch may not be able to detect them. We
recommend using any of the standard VESA video modes, instead.
