Basic Operation 33
Adjusting the Mouse
The Viewer allows you to select between five different mouse cursor options, set up mouse
scaling and resynchronize your mouse should it no longer track properly. Dell recommends
turning off the local cursor by setting the Local Cursor option to None. This will leave only one
cursor on the screen, the remote cursor, and will simplify navigation.

Setting Mouse Scaling
You can choose between three preset mouse scaling options or set your own custom scaling. The
three preset settings are: Default (1:1), High (2:1) or Low (1:2). In a 1:1 scaling ratio, every
mouse movement on the desktop window will send an equivalent mouse movement to the
server. In a 2:1 scaling, the same mouse movement will send a 2X mouse movement. In a 1:2
scaling, the value will be 1/2X.
To set custom mouse scaling:
1 Select Tools - Session Options. The Session Options dialog box appears.
2 Click the Mouse tab.
3 Click the Custom radio button. The X and Y fields become enabled.
4 Type the mouse scaling values you wish in the X and Y fields. For every mouse input, the
mouse movements are multiplied by the respective X and Y scaling factors. Valid input
ranges are 0.25 to 3.00.
