Raritan Engineering DOMINION KXII Switch User Manual


 
CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION 11
Note: For target servers running Windows 2000 or XP, you may wish to create a user name that
will be used only for remote connections through Dominion KX II. This will enable you to keep
the target server’s slow mouse pointer motion/acceleration settings exclusive to the Dominion
KX II connection.
Windows XP and 2000 login screens revert to pre-set mouse parameters that differ from those
suggested for optimal Dominion KX II performance. As a result, mouse synchronization may not
be optimal for these screens. If you are comfortable adjusting the registry on Windows target
servers, you can obtain better Dominion KX II mouse synchronization at login screens by using
the Windows registry editor to change the following settings (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control
Panel\Mouse): MouseSpeed = 0; MouseThreshold 1= 0; MouseThreshold 2 = 0.
