Navigate your mouse pointer into the upper left corner of the applet screen and move it slightly forth and back. Thus the mouse will be resynchronized. If re-synchronizing fails, disable the mouse acceleration and repeat the procedure.

3.4.5 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 be synchronized. The IKVM-1000 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 hotkey to free the captured local mouse pointer.

3.4.6 Recommended Mouse Settings

For the different operating systems we can give the following advice:

MS Windows 2000/XP/2003 (Professional and Server)

In general, we recommend the usage of a mouse via USB. Choose USB without Mouse Sync. For a PS/2 mouse, choose Auto Mouse Speed. For XP disable the option enhance pointer precision in the Control Panel.

SUN Solaris

Adjust the mouse settings either via xset m 1 or use the CDE Control Panel to set the mouse to 1:1, no acceleration. As an alternative you may also use the Single Mouse Mode.

MAC OS X

We recommend using the Single Mouse Mode.

3.4.7 Video Modes

The IKVM-1000 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 IKVM-1000 may not be able to detect them. We recommend using any of the standard VESA video modes, instead.
