Optimizing performance for graphical Remote Console

HP recommends the following client and server settings based on the operating system used.
Recommended client settings
Ideally, the remote server operating system display resolution should be the same resolution, or smaller,
than that of the browser computer. Higher server resolutions transmit more information, slowing the overall
performance.
Use the following client and browser settings to optimize performance:
Display Properties
Select an option greater than 256 colors.
o
Select a greater screen resolution than the screen resolution of the remote server.
o
Linux X Display Properties—On the X Preferences screen, set the font size to 12.
o
Remote Console
For Remote Console speed, HP recommends using a 700-MHz or faster client with 128 MB or
o
more of memory.
For the Remote Console Java™ applet execution, HP recommends using a single processor client.
o
Mouse Properties
Set the Mouse Pointer speed to the middle setting.
o
Set the Mouse Pointer Acceleration to low or disable the pointer acceleration.
o
High-performance mouse settings
When using the Remote Console, you have the option to enable the high-performance mouse feature. A
high-performance mouse greatly improves pointer performance and accuracy on Windows Server™
2003 and Windows Server™ 2000 Service Pack 3 or later. The high-performance mouse feature
changes the mouse emulation from a conventional PS/2 mouse to a USB HID mouse. The USB HID mouse
reports updates in an absolute coordinate system instead of a relative coordinate system (like a PS/2
mouse) and eliminates mouse synchronization problems.
The high-performance mouse feature works with Windows® operating systems only. Because it uses a
USB connection, this feature can potentially interfere with virtual media. You cannot enable or disable this
