Mouse Settings
The Dominion KX II operates in several mouse modes:
Absolute Mouse Mode
(D2CIM-VUSB only)
Intelligent Mouse Mode (do not use an animated mouse)
Standard Mouse Mode
Mouse parameters do not have to be altered for Absolute Mouse
Synchronization but D2CIM-VUSB or D2CIM-DVUSB is required for this
mode. For both the Standard and Intelligent mouse modes, mouse
parameters must be set to specific values, which are described here.
Mouse configurations will vary on different target operating systems.
Consult your OS documentation for additional detail.
Intelligent mouse mode generally works well on most Windows
platforms. Intelligent mouse mode may produce unpredictable results
when active desktop is set on the target. For additional information on
Intelligent mouse mode settings, see Intelligent Mouse Mode (on page
