This mode is described in the Section called Single and Double Mouse Mode.
3.4.3.2 Auto Mouse Speed and Mouse Synchronization
The automatic mouse speed mode performs the speed detection during mouse
synchronization. Whenever the mouse does not move correctly, there are two
ways for re-synchronizing local and remote mouse:
Fast Sync
The fast synchronization is used to correct a temporary but fixed skew. Choose
this option from the Remote Console Options menu (entry: Mouse Handling). If
defined you may also press the mouse synchronization hotkey sequence
Intelligent Sync
If the Fast Sync does not work or the mouse settings have been changed on the
host system, use the Intelligent Synchronization, instead. This method adjusts
the parameters for the actual movement of the mouse pointer so that the mouse
pointer is displayed at the correct position on the screen. This method takes
more time than the Fast Sync and can be accessed with the appropriate item in
the Remote Console Option menu (entry: Mouse Handling).
Furthermore, the shape of the mouse pointer has a significant influence on the
pointer detection. We recommend use a simple, but common pointer shape. In
most cases, the detection and synchronization of animated pointer shapes is
likely to fail. In general, pointer shapes that change during the pointer detection
process are rather impossible to figure out in the transferred video picture. With
the usage of a standard mouse pointer shape the detection is rather simple and
the synchronization is at its best.
The Sync Mouse button on top of the Remote Console can behave differently,
depending on the current state of mouse synchronization. Usually pressing this
button leads to a Fast Sync, except in situations where the KVM port or the
video mode changed recently.
3.4.3.3 Host System Mouse Settings
The host's operating system knows various settings for the mouse driver.
While KVM-over-IP Sever Management works with accelerated mouse and is
able to synchronize the local with the remote mouse pointer, there are the
following limitations which may prevent this synchronization from working
properly:
Special Mouse Driver
There are mouse drivers which influence the synchronization process and lead
to desynchronized mouse pointers. If this happens, make sure you do not use a
special vendor-specific mouse driver on your host system.
Windows 2003 Server/XP Mouse Settings
Windows XP knows a setting named "improve mouse acceleration" which has
to be deactivated.
