Furthermore, the shape of the mouse pointer has a significant influence on
the pointer detection. We recommend to use a simple, but common pointer
shape. In most cases, the detection and synchronization of animated pointer
shapes is likely to fail. In general, pointer shapes that change during the
pointer detection process are rather impossible to figure out in the transferred
video picture. With the usage of a standard mouse pointer shape the
detection is rather simple and the syncronization is at its best.
Figure 19 Remote Console Control Bar: Sync Button
The Sync Mouse button on top of the Remote Console can behave
differently, depending on the current state of mouse synchronization. Usually
pressing this button leads to a Fast Sync, except in situations where the KVM
port or the video mode changed recently. See also
Chapter 4: Remote
Console Control Bar .
Note: At first start, if the local mouse pointer is not synchronized with the
remote mouse pointer, press the Auto Adjust Button once.
Host System Mouse Settings
The host’s operating system knows various settings for the mouse driver.
Important: The following limitations do not apply in case of USB
and Mouse Type “MS Windows 2000 and newer”.
While the ARMC/3P works with accelerated mice and is able to synchronize the
local with the remote mouse pointer, there are the following limitations which may
prevent this synchronization from working properly:
Special Mouse Driver
There are mouse drivers which influence the synchronization process and
lead to desynchronized 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 knows a setting named “improve mouse acceleration” which has
to 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.

recommendations.
