Mouse Pointer Synchronization

When remotely viewing a target server that uses a mouse, you will see two mouse cursors: one belonging to your remote client workstation and the other belonging to the target server. When the mouse pointer lies within the Virtual KVM Client target server window, mouse movements and clicks are directly transmitted to the connected target server. While in motion, the client mouse pointer slightly leads the target mouse pointer due to mouse acceleration settings.

On fast LAN connections, you may want to disable the Virtual KVM Client mouse pointer and view only the target server's pointer. You can toggle between these two modes (single mouse and dual mouse).

Note: VKC for the KX II-101 uses an icon set that differs from the icon set used in VKC for other Dominion KX products. See VKC Toolbar for the KX II-101 for additional information.

Mouse Synchronization Tips

Be sure to follow these steps when configuring mouse synchronization:

1. Verify that the selected video resolution and refresh rate are among those supported by the device. The Virtual KVM Client Connection Info dialog displays the actual values that the device is seeing.
2. Verify that the cable length is within the specified limits for the selected video resolution.
3. Verify that the mouse and video have been properly configured during the installation process.
4. Force an auto-sense by clicking the Virtual KVM Client auto-sense button.
5. If that does not improve the mouse synchronization (for Linux, UNIX, and Solaris KVM target servers):
   1. Open a terminal window.
   2. Enter the xset mouse 1 1 command.
   3. Close the terminal window.
6. Click the "Virtual KVM Client mouse synchronization" button .

Additional Notes for Intelligent Mouse Mode

• Be sure that there are no icons or applications in the upper left section of the screen since that is where the synchronization routine takes place.
• Do not use an animated mouse.
• Disable active desktop on KVM target servers.

Synchronize Mouse

In dual mouse mode, the Synchronize Mouse command forces realignment of the target server mouse pointer with Virtual KVM Client mouse pointer.

To synchronize the mouse, do one of the following:

• Choose Mouse > Synchronize Mouse or click the Synchronize Mouse button in the toolbar.
