8 DOMINION KSX USER M ANUALNote: Windows XP and 2000 login screens revert to pre-set mouse parameters that differ fromthose suggested for optimal Dominion KSX performance. As a result, mouse sync will not beoptimal at these screens. If you are comfortable adjusting the registry on Windows target servers,you can obtain better Dominion KSX mouse synchronization at login screens by using theWindows registry editor to change the following settings: Default user mouse motion speed = 0;mouse threshold 1= 0; mouse threshold 2 = 0.Windows 2000 / ME SettingsOn target servers running Microsoft Windows 2000 / ME, set the mouse pointer acceleration to“none” and the mouse motion speed exactly to the middle speed setting. These parameters arefound in Control Panel → Mouse.Disable transition effects in Control Panel → Display → Effects.Windows 95 / 98 / NT SettingsOn target servers running Microsoft Windows 95 / 98 / NT, set the mouse motion speed to theslowest setting in Control Panel → Mouse → Motion.Disable window, menu, and list animation in Control Panel → Display → Effects.Linux SettingsOn target servers running Linux graphical interfaces, set the mouse acceleration to exactly 1 andset threshold to exactly 1.As mentioned above, please ensure that each target server running Linux is using a resolutionsupported by Dominion KSX at a standard VESA resolution and refresh rate. Each Linux targetserver should also be set so the blanking times are within +/- 40% of VESA standard values.To check for these parameters:• Go to the Xfree86 Configuration file XF86Config• Using a text editor, disable all non-Dominion KSX supported resolutions• Disable the virtual desktop feature, which is not supported by Dominion KSX• Check blanking times (+/- 40% of VESA standard).• Restart computerNote: In many Linux graphical environments, the command <Ctrl+Alt+Plus> will change thevideo resolution, scrolling through all available resolutions that remain enabled in theXF86Config file.Sun Solaris SettingsAs mentioned, all target servers must be configured to one of the display resolutions supported byDominion KSX, as listed on page 6. The most popular supported resolutions for Sun machinesare:• 1024x768@60Hz• 1024x768@70Hz• 1024x768@75Hz• 1024x768@85Hz• 1152x900@66Hz• 1152x900@76Hz• 1280x1024@60HzTarget servers running the Solaris operating system must output VGA video (H-and-V sync, notcomposite sync). To change your Sun video card output from composite sync to the non-default
