Hello
I have read several notes about disappearing mouses. Here is another
one:
Platform TULIP PC with a ProMotion video controller based on the
AT24 chip. Running Windows 3.1
After starting a terminal session the mouse disappears behind the
window. The customer can use the mouse but he must guess where the
mouse is pointing at.
Whe already tried the ZDebugKey parameter in the XCREG.INI file
without succes. The customer now has installed an ATI video controller
to solve the problem.
We downloaded from the www.alsc.com page the latest drivers available
for the ProMotion AT24 video controller. (V1.7.25)
What can cause this problem, the video controller or .......?
and why does eXcursion only have those mouse problems ? Does eXcursion
uses the mouse in a more sophisticated way ?
Regards
Peter Folker

I've never seen this one with Windows 3.x. Only with Windows 95 and NT 4.0. The 2.1 code checks to see if it's running on Win95 before it implements the nocursor workaround. So the setting has no effect on NT or Win 3.1 (or WfW) systems. 3.0 apparently fixes it so that NT 4 users don't see this problem, but 3.0 is not a solution for Windows or WfW users. > and why does eXcursion only have those mouse problems ? Does eXcursion > uses the mouse in a more sophisticated way ? More sophisticated? No. Just different. X uses font "glyphs" to represent cursors. So some X applications change the cursor representation when you move into their windows. Some video drivers apparently just can't cope with the cursor fonts. Perhaps the 2.1 code needs to be updated to not check for Windows 95 before implementing the workaround. #Gary | |||||

Hello Gary Thanks for the responce, the customer for the moment uses extra ATI video controllers, and will upgrade to Windows 95 in the near future. So don't bother about changing the 2.1.309 version to let the effective for windows 3.1 Regards Peter | |||||
