Chapter 2: Installation 15

LINUX

NOTE: Red Hat and SUSE support several standard graphical user interfaces. For this document, the Red Hat-

modified version of the GNOME graphical interface is shown, and the SUSE-modified version of the KDE

interface is shown. If your Red Hat installation uses the KDE graphical user interface, see the SUSE section or

refer to the KDE documentation online. If your SUSE installation uses the GNOME interface, refer to the Red Hat

section or refer to the GNOME documentation online.

To adjust the mouse speed and cursor settings for Red Hat LINUX pre-8.0 drivers

(modified GNOME GUI):

1. From the Workspace Menu, click the Desktop Manager icon and select Application Manager -

Desktop_Controls to open the Control Center dialog box.

2. From the tree view, select Peripherals - Mouse to list the mouse settings.

3. Set the Acceleration slider to the center position.

4. (Optional) Select the desired Mouse buttons option and set the Threshold slider to the

desired position.

6. Resynchronize the mouse in the software remote session window for the Avocent management

software you are using.

The mouse resynchronizes and should work properly.
