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 hotkey to free the captured local

mouse pointer.

3.4.6 Recommended Mouse Settings

For the different operating systems we can give the following advice:

MS Windows 2000/XP/2003 (Professional and Server)

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.

3.4.7 Video Modes

The IKVM-8000 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 IKVM-8000 may not be able to detect them. We

recommend using any of the standard VESA video modes, instead.
