Chapter 2: Installation 
Configuring Target Servers 
Before installing Dominion KX, you must configure any target servers to be accessed via 
Dominion KX, to ensure optimum performance. Note that the following configuration 
requirements apply only to target servers, not to the client workstations (Remote PCs) that you 
use to access Dominion KX remotely (please see 
  for 
additional information). 
 
Server Video Resolution 
Ensure that each target server’s video resolution and refresh rate is supported by Dominion KX 
and that the signal is non-interlaced. Dominion KX supports the following video resolutions:

Desktop Background 
For optimal bandwidth efficiency and video performance, target servers running graphical user 
interfaces such as Windows, Linux, X-Windows, Solaris, and KDE should be configured with 
desktop backgrounds set to a predominantly solid, plain, light-colored graphic. The desktop 
background need not be completely solid; but desktop backgrounds featuring photos or complex 
gradients should be avoided. 
 
Mouse Settings 
Dominion KX operates in Standard mouse mode (by default), which requires that acceleration be 
disabled. However, depending on your OS, you can choose to work in Intelligent Mouse mode. In 
either mode, mouse parameters must be set to specific values, which are described later in this 
chapter. Although Absolute mouse mode appears on the Mouse menu, it is disabled at this time. 
Please see the Raritan Multi-Platform Client and Raritan Remote Client User Guide, available on 
Raritan’s Website 
, or on the Raritan User 
Manuals & Quick Setup Guides CD ROM included with your Dominion KX shipment for 
additional information on Intelligent Mouse mode. Please note that mouse configurations will 
vary on different target operations system; consult your OS guidelines for further details.
