130 Using GUI Console Redirection
Synchronizing the Mouse Pointers
When you connect to a remote PowerEdge system using Console
Redirection, the mouse acceleration speed on the remote system may not
synchronize with the mouse pointer on your management station, causing
two mouse pointers to appear in the Video Viewer window.
To synchronize the mouse pointers click Mouse→ Synchronize cursor or
press <Alt><M>.
Mouse Synchronize
Cursor
The Mouse menu enables you to synchronize the
cursor so that the mouse on the client is redirected
to the mouse on the server.
Options Color Mode Allows you to select a color depth to improve
performance over the network. For example, if you
are installing software from virtual media, you can
choose the lowest color depth (3-bit gray), so that
less network bandwidth is used by the console viewer
leaving more bandwidth for transferring data from
the media.
The color mode can be set to 15-bit color, 7-bit color,
4-bit color, 4-bit gray, and 3-bit gray.

"Configuring and Using Virtual Media" on page 137.

when using Virtual Media.
