Disabling Mouse Acceleration on the Host Computer

NOTE: If you are using USB to connect SV1115IPEXT to the host
computer, you will not be required to adjust the mouse settings
on the host computer, as this device uses “Absolute” mode, which
eliminates any problems you may otherwise experience with mouse
synchronization or host mouse acceleration.
Many operating systems offer a feature called mouse acceleration,
allowing the user to adjust the responsiveness of the cursor on the
screen in relation to physical movements of the mouse. While this is
usually a beneficial interface enhancement, it can interfere with the
operation of the SV1115IPEXT and should be disabled on the host
computer before a remote session is attempted. Follow the instructions
below to disable mouse acceleration for the operating system installed
on the host computer.
