'Ello,

I've recently started multiboxing on my dualscreen 1 pc setup. All the keybinds are working fine while using Octopus. But my mouse doesn't work. When I turn on the 1st screen, it doesn't turn on the 2nd screen when using my mouse. How can I make sure it uses my mouse works on both screens? Can I program that in Octopus aswell?

Game I'm testing it with is WoW btw.

Thanks for the support :D.

In Octopus under the Server tab, in KVM/Configure, you'll want to configure the Left side of your right monitor to the Right side of your left monitor. That's if your monitors are positioned left and right beside each other. In the Display field of the entry under Screens for the second monitor, you'll want to make sure you select localhost:2 for the 2nd display device. KVM allows you to configure the mouse to move to another display device. The Octopus tutorial written by Ughmahedhurtz at Octopus Tutorial ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/wiki/index.php/Octopus_Tutorial') has a good section on how to set up the KVM.
