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.

To check the settings, move the mouse pointer on your administration system to the upper left corner of the Remote Console. Move the mouse pointer slightly forth and back, then. This will synchronize the mouse. Once done, move the mouse pointer around and observe the behavior of your remote mouse in accordance to the local one. If the mouse desynchronizes quickly, one of the settings as mentioned above may not be correct.

4.1.3.5 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 by synchronize. The KVM-9000 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.

4.1.3.6 Video Modes

The KVM-9000 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 KVM-9000 may not be able to detect them. We recommend using any of the standard VESA video modes, instead
