Info
When selected, this option displays an information dialog showing the current logged on
users, the current host, its video mode and its mouse motion details.
Advanced mouse conguration
This dialog allows the mouse acceleration to be congured according to the operating
system in use and also permits manual ne tuning for situations where problems are
encountered with the Calibrate function.
For best results, choose the appropriate Change motion: entry to match the host in use.
The available Change Motion schemes are: Constant, XFree86, Windows Pre-XP, Windows
XP, Windows XP SP2, OS/2, Solaris, Solaris 9 and Mac OSX. Most of these offer the Speed
setting as the only option, however, the Windows Pre-Xp and XFree86 options contain
many other parameters.
When the Absolute Mode option is ticked in the main Mouse Control menu, this dialog
allows you to adjust the Absolute Offset scale:
Power switching
When congured (and where you have access rights) this option allows you to control

through normal means.
