Navigate your mouse pointer into the upper left corner of the applet screen and move it slightly forth and
back. Thus the mouse will be resynchronized. If re-synchronizing fails, disable the mouse acceleration
and repeat the procedure.
1-2.5 Single and Double Mouse Mode
The information above applies to the Double Mouse Mode, where remote and local mouse pointers are
visible and need to be synchronized. The IP module also features another mode, the Single Mouse Mode,
where only the remote mouse pointer is visible. Activate this mode in the open Remote Console and click
into the window area. The local mouse pointer will be hidden and the remote one can be controlled directly.
To leave this mode, it is necessary to define a mouse hotkey in the Remote Console Settings Panel. Press
this key to free the captured local mouse pointer.
1-2.6 Recommended Mouse Settings
For the different operating systems we can give the following advice:
MS Windows 2000/2003 (Professional and Server) and XP (all versions)
In general, we recommend the usage of a mouse via USB. Choose USB without Mouse Sync. For a
PS/2 mouse choose Auto Mouse Speed. For XP disable the option “enhance pointer precision” in the
Control Panel.
SUN Solaris
Adjust the mouse settings either via xset m 1 or use the CDE Control Panel to set the mouse to “1:1, no
acceleration”. As an alternative you may also use the Single Mouse Mode.
MAC OS X
We recommend using the Single Mouse Mode.
1-2.7 Video Modes
The IP module recognizes a limited number of common video modes. When running X11 on the host
system, please do not use any custom mode lines with special video modes. If you do, the IP module may
not be able to detect them. We recommend using any of the standard VESA video modes, instead.
