Note: For KVM target servers running Windows XP, Windows 2000 or
Windows 2008, you may wish to create a user name that will be used
only for remote connections through the KSX II. This will enable you to
keep the target server's slow mouse pointer motion/acceleration settings
exclusive to the KSX II connection.
Windows XP, 2000, and 2008 login pages revert to preset mouse
parameters that differ from those suggested for optimal KSX II
performance. As a result, mouse synchronization may not be optimal for
these screens.
WARNING! Proceed only if you are comfortable adjusting the registry on
Windows KVM target servers. You can obtain better KSX II mouse
synchronization at the login pages by using the Windows registry editor
to change the following settings: HKey_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control
Panel\Mouse: > MouseSpeed = 0;MouseThreshold
1=0;MouseThreshold 2=0.
