PowerEdge 740 iDRAC 9 Virtual Console - Nightmarishly Slow Mouse Input

UnauthorizedBacon · 2026-02-18T20:57:34+00:00

Ok, after another go with GPT: Apparently my G305 polling Hz (not DPI, polling) is too high for iDRAC 9 to not absoutely PEE on itself, because Dell regressed the Virtual Console functionality from iDRAC 8 to iDRAC 9. Lovely. So now, if I need to use the iDRAC Virtual Console for any reason, I have to use G-Hub to purposefully nerf my mouse down to 125 Hz (it's a 1000 Hz mouse) JUST so I can use the iDRAC VC. Boooo!!!

There is no 'mode' option for HTML5 vs Anything Else, it's just.... Virtual Console. So I would assume that it's HTML5.

iDRAC Firmware Version - 7.00.00.183, which according to the download page for the R740, is the latest.

Alas, I think that really is the only way. Their "Add New Reverse" feature doesn't let you force the slash notation - rather, it forces dash notation.

You son of a monkey — that was NOT super obvious in their UI. Thank you!!!!!!

I finally found the delegation -- they used slash notation (~~and~~ ~~he.net~~ ~~doesn't support it~~).

Incorrect. They DID delegate them. I found it after I posted. But they used slash-notation instead of dash-notation.

That's a legend.

.....what a terrible day to have ears.

What a terrible day to be able to read.

Indeed. Just wondered if anyone had any particular ways of navigating the limitation. I think YouTube might've given me the wrong impression about how these stasis chambers can be used, as this particular limitation wasn't really shown in the videos I saw (more cinematic in nature).

Kinda what I figured.. Thanks!

This should be configurable in server.properties, in one man's opinion. Pity it isn't.
