Linux Settings (Red Hat 4)

Note: The following settings are optimized for Standard Mouse mode only.

To configure KVM target servers running Linux (graphical user interface):

  1. Configure the mouse settings:
    1. Choose Main Menu > Preferences > Mouse. The Mouse Preferences dialog appears.
    2. Open the Motion tab.
    3. Within the Speed group, set the Acceleration slider to the exact center.
    4. Within the Speed group, set the Sensitivity towards low.
    5. Within the Drag & Drop group, set the Threshold towards small.
    6. Close the Mouse Preferences dialog.

      Note: If these steps do not work, issue the xset mouse 1 1 command as described in the Linux command line instructions.

  2. Configure the screen resolution:
    1. Choose Main Menu > System Settings > Display. The Display Settings dialog appears.
    2. On the Settings tab, select a Resolution supported by the Dominion KSX.
    3. Click OK.

Note: Once connected to the target server, in many Linux graphical environments, the <Ctrl> <Alt> <+> command will change the video resolution, scrolling through all available resolutions that remain enabled in the XF86Config or /etc/X11/xorg.conf, depending on your X server distribution

Note: If you change the video resolution, you must log out of the target server and log back in for the video settings to take effect.
