Host System Mouse Settings

The host's operating system knows various settings for the mouse driver.
While the RIPM works with accelerated mice and is able to synchronize the
local- with the remote-mouse pointer, the following limitations may prevent this
synchronization from working properly:
• Special Mouse Driver
There are mouse drivers that influence the synchronization process and lead
to de-synchronized mouse pointers. If this happens, make sure you do not
use a special vendor-specific mouse driver on your host system.
• Windows 2003 Server/XP Mouse Settings
Windows XP has a setting named "improve mouse acceleration" that must
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 back and forth. This will re-synchronize the mouse.
If re-synchronizing fails, disable the mouse acceleration and repeat
the procedure.
• Single- and Double-Mouse Modes
The information above applies to the double-mouse mode where
remote- and local-mouse pointers are visible and need to be synchronized.
The RIPM features another mode, the single-mouse mode, where only the
remote-mouse pointer is visible. Activate this mode in the Remote Console
(see the "Remote Console Control Bar" section on page 23) 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
hot key in the Remote Console Settings panel. Press this key to free the
captured local-mouse pointer.
