Note: For KVM target servers running Windows XP, Windows
2000 or Windows 2008, you may wish to create a user name
that will be used only for remote connections through the KSX
II. This will enable you to keep the target server's slow mouse
pointer motion/acceleration settings exclusive to the KSX II
connection.
Windows XP, 2000, and 2008 login pages revert to preset
mouse parameters that differ from those suggested for
optimal KSX II performance. As a result, mouse
synchronization may not be optimal for these screens.
WARNING! Proceed only if you are comfortable adjusting the
registry on Windows KVM target servers. You can obtain
better KSX II mouse synchronization at the login pages by
using the Windows registry editor to change the following
settings: HKey_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Mouse: >
MouseSpeed = 0;MouseThreshold 1=0;MouseThreshold
2=0.
