>>for performance, i think it depends how [software cursor] is done.
which doesn't mean that i prefer it to using a hardware cursor, which can do more
with less overhead and disturbance.
i don't really understand why graphics adapter makers can apparently
agree to change anything except the hopelessly obsolete VGA interface.
soon you'll need to visit three registers to collect enough bits for screen width.
i don't mind if there's a standard bit
Think= 1<<0, /* acquire a brain */
in a standard place that must be set to enable a more reasonable
interface for current and future displays and otherwise it defaults to 1983 say.
