Avocent DSR1021 - Manual (Page 77)

Chapter 5: The Video Viewer 65
NOTE: If the device does not support the ability to disconnect and reconnect the mouse (almost all newer PCs
do), then the mouse will become disabled and the device will have to be rebooted.
Cursor Type
The Video Viewer window offers five appearance choices for the local mouse cursor. You can also
choose no cursor or the default cursor.
Single cursor mode
In Single Cursor mode, the display of the local (second) cursor in the Video Viewer window turns
off and only the target device mouse pointer is visible. The only mouse movements that appear are
those of the target device remote cursor. Use Single Cursor mode when there is no need for a local
cursor. Figure 5.3 shows both the Remote Cursor and the Local Cursor displayed in the Video
Viewer window.

The cursor mode status of the Video Viewer window displays in the title bar, including the
keystroke that will exit Single Cursor mode. You can define the keystroke that will exit Single
Cursor mode in the Session Options dialog box.
NOTE: When using a device that captures keystrokes before they reach the client, you should avoid using those
keys to restore the mouse pointer.
To enter single cursor mode:
Select Tools - Single Cursor Mode from the Video Viewer window menu.
