MULTI-HEAD SERVSWITCH™
4.2.4 E NFORCING
M OUSE S PEED
In its factory-default state, the Multi-Head ServSwitch allows each CPU to handle
mouse communication any way the CPU wants to. However, some CPUs with
particular rare combinations of operating systems, mice, and mouse drivers can be
abnormally sensitive to small timing changes in mouse communication. These
CPUs can react badly to the presence of the Switch, making persistent timing
errors that cause the mouse to seem slow or sluggish. This has especially been
noted to occur while using Logitech mice with some HP
®
Vectra
®
machines
running later versions of Windows NT
®
and Logitech mouse drivers.
One way to fix this problem is to change the mouse driver. But if this isn’t an
option, at least in the short term, you can send the Switch the [L][6] command.
This causes the Switch to take a more active role in mouse communication,
ensuring that the CPU won’t have timing problems and keeping the mouse up to
speed.
