Raritan Engineering KX2-864 User Manual

Chapter 2: Installation and Configuration

Note: For KVM target servers running Windows 2000 or XP, you may
wish to create a user name that will be used only for remote connections
through the Dominion KX II. This will enable you to keep the target
server's slow mouse pointer motion/acceleration settings exclusive to the
Dominion KX II connection.

Windows XP and 2000 login pages revert to preset mouse parameters
that differ from those suggested for optimal Dominion KX II performance.
As a result, mouse synchronization may not be optimal for these
screens.

WARNING! Proceed only if you are comfortable adjusting the registry
on Windows KVM target servers. You can obtain better Dominion KX
II mouse synchronization at the login pages by using the Windows
registry editor to change the following settings:
HKey_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Mouse: > MouseSpeed =
0;MouseThreshold 1=0;MouseThreshold 2=0.
