automatically. See the section below for a more detailed explanation.
Fixed Mouse Speed
This mode just translates the mouse movements from the Remote Console in a way that one pixel move
will result in n-pixel moves on the remote system. This parameter n is adjustable with the scaling. Please
note that this works only when mouse acceleration is turned off on the remote system.
1-2.3 Automatic Mouse Speed and Mouse Synchronization
The automatic mouse speed mode performs the speed detection during mouse synchronization. Whenever
the local and remote mouse cursors move synchronously or not, there are two ways for re-synchronizing
local and remote mouse cursors:
Fast Sync
The fast synchronization is used to correct a temporary, but fixed skew. Choose the option using the
Remote Console options menu or press the mouse synchronization hotkey sequence in case you
defined one.
Intelligent Sync
If the fast sync does not work or the mouse settings have been changed on the host system, use the
intelligent resynchronization. This method takes more time than the fast one and can be accessed with
the appropriate item in the Remote Console option menu. The intelligent synchronization requires a
correctly adjusted picture. Use the auto adjustment function to setup the picture, and make sure that
there are no windows at the top left corner of the remote desktop that are able to change the mouse
cursor shape from the normal state. The Sync mouse button on top of the Remote Console can behave
differently, depending on the current state of mouse synchronization. Usually pressing this button leads
to a fast sync, except in situations where the KVM port or the video mode changed recently.
Note: At first start, if the local mouse pointer is not synchronized with the remote mouse pointer, press
the Auto Adjust Button once.
1-2.4 Host System Mouse Settings
The host’s operating system knows various settings from the mouse driver.
Warning
While the IP module works with accelerated mice and is able to synchronize the
local with the remote mouse pointer, there are the following limitations, which may
prevent this synchronization from working properly:

properly:
Special Mouse Driver
There are mouse drivers that influence the synchronization process and lead to desynchronized mouse
pointers. If this happens, make sure you do not use a special vendor-specific mouse driver on your host
system.
Windows XP Mouse Settings
Windows XP knows a setting named “improve mouse acceleration”, which has to be deactivated.
Active Desktop
If the Active Desktop feature of Microsoft Windows is enabled do not use a plain background. Instead,
use some kind of wallpaper. As an alternative, you could also disable the Active Desktop completely.
