[9fans] Mouse pointer icon stuck in the upper left corner

[Nicolás Victorero Mier]

Hello,
I just installed plan9 from the distribution cd, all seems fine except 
for the mouse pointer icon, it is stuck in the upper left corner of the 
screen, and i can move the mouse around, and the icon change to the 
resizing one as i move the mouse over borders and such, but don't leave 
the forementioned position. I had rio working at 640x480x8, 1024x768x32 
and 1280x1024x32.

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=9fans&m=111559010935401&w=2 pointed 
similar problems, but i couldn't find a fix por it.

My hardware is p4 2.4Ghz asus p4s8x 1.2GB ram, nvidia gforce4 4200 ti 
(sparkle) and usb mouse logitech mx 1000
Thanks in advance
Nico

I saw this once. The registers which are used to move the cursor around
where not on the same place. I printed them in the X in linux and got
it to work,
but a non-oficial driver around solved the problem better. After some time
it started working with the sources version I think. It all had to do with
the VGA bridge and having two VGA interfaces in the same VGA card. All
the registers for the second VGA interface were offset. The driver was
written for the first interface. I speak all this from memory... Probably
someone else knows better.

HTH.
