PLANET IKVM-8000 - Manual (Page 20)

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 Fast Sync 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 or the manual correction in the Video Settings panel
to setup the picture. The Sync mouse button on top of the Remote
Console may 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.
3.4.4 Host System Mouse Settings
While the IKVM-8000 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: (the following limitations do not
apply in case of USB and Mouse Type “MS Windows 2000 and newer”.)
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.
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.
3.4.5 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 IKVM-8000 also
