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.
