Raritan Computer DKSX440 - Manual (Page 20)

8 D OMINION KSX U SER M ANUAL
Windows 2000 / ME Settings
On target servers running Microsoft Windows 2000 / ME, set the mouse pointer acceleration to “none” and the
mouse motion speed exactly to the middle speed setting. These parameters are found in Control Panel
→ Mouse.
Disable transition effects in Control Panel → Display → Effects.
Windows 95 / 98 / NT Settings
On target servers running Microsoft Windows 95 / 98 / NT, set the mouse motion speed to the slowest setting in
Control Panel
→ Mouse → Motion.
Disable window, menu, and list animation in Control Panel → Display → Effects.
Linux Settings
On target servers running Linux graphical interfaces, set the mouse acceleration to exactly 1 and set threshold to
exactly 1.
As mentioned above, please ensure that each target server running Linux is using a resolution supported by
Dominion KSX at a standard VESA resolution and refresh rate. Each Linux target server should also be set so the
blanking times are within +/- 40% of VESA standard values.
To check for these parameters:
• Go to the Xfree86 Configuration file XF86Config
• Using a text editor, disable all non-Dominion KSX supported resolutions
• Disable the virtual desktop feature, which is not supported by Dominion KSX
• Check blanking times (+/- 40% of VESA standard).
• Restart computer
Note: In many Linux graphical environments, the command <Ctrl+Alt+Plus> will change the
video resolution, scrolling through all available resolutions that remain enabled in the
XF86Config file.
Sun Solaris Settings
As mentioned, all target servers must be configured to one of the display resolutions supported by Dominion KSX,
as listed on page 6. The most popular supported resolutions for Sun machines are:
• 1024x768@60Hz
• 1024x768@70Hz
• 1024x768@75Hz
• 1024x768@85Hz
• 1152x900@66Hz
• 1152x900@76Hz
• 1280x1024@60Hz
Target servers running the Solaris operating system must output VGA video (H-and-V sync, not composite sync).
To change your Sun video card output from composite sync to the non-default VGA output, first issue the Stop+A
command to drop to bootprom mode. Then, issue the command:
setenv output-device screen:r1024x768x70
to change the output resolution. Issue the “boot” command to reboot the server.
Alternatively, you may contact your Raritan representative to purchase a video output adapter. 13W3 Suns with
composite sync output require APSSUN II Raritan guardian for use with Dominion KSX. HD15 Suns with
composite sync output require 1396C Raritan converter to convert from HD15 to 13W3 and an APSSUN II Raritan
guardian converter to support composite sync. HD15 Suns with separate sync output require an APKMSUN Raritan
guardian for use with Dominion KSX.
On target servers running the Solaris operating system, set the mouse acceleration value to exactly 1 and threshold to
exactly 1.
