194 Using GUI Console Redirection
Synchronizing the Mouse Pointers
When you connect to a remote PowerEdge 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 click Mouse→ Synchronize cursor or
press <Alt><M>.
The Synchronize cursor menu item is a toggle. Ensure that there is a check
mark next to the item in the menu so that the mouse synchronization is active.
When using Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Novell SUSE Linux, be sure to
configure the mouse mode for Linux before you launch the viewer. See
"Configuring Console Redirection and Virtual Media in the iDRAC6 Web
Interface" for help with configuration. The operating system’s default mouse
settings are used to control the mouse arrow in the iDRAC6 Console
Redirection screen.
