Remote Console uses dual cursors to help you distinguish between the local and remote mouse pointers.
The client computer's mouse cursor appears in the Remote Console as a crosshair symbol. For best
performance, be sure to configure the host operating system display as described in the sections,
"Recommended client settings (on page
98
)" and "Recommended server settings (on page
98
)."
To synchronize the remote and local cursors if they drift apart, do one following:
•
Right-click, drag, and move the local crosshair cursor to align with the mouse cursor of the remote
server.
•
Press and hold the right
Ctrl
key, and move the local crosshair cursor to align with the mouse cursor
of the remote server.
The local cursor takes the shape of the remote cursor. The cursor appears as a single cursor if the local
cursor and the remote cursor are perfectly aligned and the hardware acceleration is set to Full on the
managed server.
