Disabling Mouse Acceleration on the Host Computer

Many operating systems offer a feature called mouse acceleration, allowing the user to adjust the responsiveness of the cursor on the screen in relation to physical movements of the mouse. While this is usually a beneficial interface enhancement, it can interfere with the operation of the KVM Remote Control and should be disabled on the host computer before a remote session is attempted. Follow the instructions below to disable mouse acceleration for the operating system installed on the host computer.

Windows 98

1.From the Control Panel, click on Mouse.

2.From Mouse Properties, click on the Motion tab.

3.Make sure the Pointer speed bar is centered and Acceleration is set to None.

Windows 2000

1.From the Control Panel, Click on Mouse.

2.From Mouse properties, click on the Motion tab.

3.Make sure that the Pointer speed bar is centered and Acceleration is set to None.

Windows XP and Windows Server 2003

1.Go to Pointer Options and turn off Enhance Pointer Precision and ensure that the pointer speed bar is centered.

Linux, Unix and X-Windows
