Adjusting Mouse Settings on Target Devices

Before a computer connected to the DSR2035/8035 switch can be used for remote user control, you
must set the target mouse speed and turn off acceleration. For machines running Microsoft
Windows (Windows NT
®
To ensure that the local mouse movement and remote cursor display remain in sync, mouse
acceleration needs to be set to "none" for all user accounts accessing a remote system using a KVM
switch. Mouse acceleration should also be set to "none" on every remote system. Special cursors
should not be used and cursor visibility options, such as pointer trails,
animations, cursor shadowing and cursor hiding should also be turned off.
This section explains the steps for setting mouse movement and cursor features for use with
Avocent hardware products and DSView
operating systems:

• LINUX

• UNIX Sun Solaris

• Novell

• Apple MAC
NOTE: If you are not able to disable mouse acceleration from within your operating system, or if you do not
desire to adjust the settings of all your servers, newer versions of the DSView 3 software include the Tools -
Single Cursor Mode command available in the Video Viewer window. This command places the Video Viewer
window into an "invisible mouse" mode which allows you to manually toggle control between the mouse pointer
on the target system being viewed and the mouse pointer on the client running DSView 3 software.

Microsoft Windows

DSR switches, CCM console management appliances and SwitchView IP remote access devices use the default
