172 Using GUI Console Redirection
Synchronizing the Mouse Pointers
When you connect to a remote Dell system using Console Redirection, the
mouse acceleration speed on the remote system may not synchronize with
the mouse pointer on your management station, causing two mouse pointers
to appear in the Video Viewer window.
To synchronize the mouse pointers:
1
Access the Viewer Menu Bar. See "Accessing the Viewer Menu Bar" on
page 168.
2 Click Tools and select Session Options .
3 Click the Mouse tab, select your management station’s operating system,
and click
OK .
4 Click Tools and select Manual Video Adjust .
5 Adjust the horizontal controls so the remote system’s desktop appears in
the center of the session window.
6 Click OK .
When using Linux (Red Hat or Novell), the operating system’s default mouse
settings are used to control the mouse arrow in the DRAC 5 Console
Redirection screen.
NOTE: On Linux (Red Hat or Novell) systems, there are known mouse arrow
synchronization issues. To minimize mouse synchronization problems, ensure that
all users use the default mouse settings.
For information on disabling the console redirection, see "Disabling DRAC 5
Remote Virtual KVM" on page 214.
