Desktop Background

For optimal bandwidth efficiency and video performance, target servers running graphical user
interfaces such as Windows, Linux, X-Windows, Solaris, and KDE require configuration. The
desktop background need not be completely solid; but desktop backgrounds featuring photos or
complex gradients might degrade performance.

Mouse Settings

The Dominion KX II operates in several mouse modes:
•
Absolute Mouse Synchronization
•
Intelligent Mouse Mode
•
Standard Mouse Mode
For both the Standard and Intelligent mouse modes, mouse parameters must be set to specific
values, which are described later in this manual. Mouse parameters do not have to be altered for
Absolute Mouse Synchronization; D2CIM-VUSB is required for this mode. Mouse
configurations will vary on different target operating systems; consult your OS documentation for
additional detail.
Intelligent mouse mode generally works well on most Windows platforms. Intelligent mouse
mode may produce unpredictable results when active desktop is set on the target. For additional
information on Intelligent Mouse mode, refer to the Raritan Multi-Platform Client (MPC) and
Raritan Remote Client (RRC) User Guide (Appendix B: Conditions for Intelligent Mouse
Synchronization) available on Raritan's Website
http://www.raritan.com/support/productdocumentation, or on the Raritan User Manuals & Quick
Setup Guides CD ROM included with your Dominion KX II shipment.
