I am having problems with a Logitech mouse (using mouse driver 4.0) with a Paradise VGA+16 in Super VGA mode (800 x 600). I get input fine, but the cursor does not show up. Any ideas? Mark Mark D.

Any ideas? I had a paradise vga+16 which, from the day it was installed, did not portray a cursor in any text mode. We called our distributer whom sent a new board which fixed the problem. Apparently it was a bad board. -- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Conor P. Cahill uunet!virtech!cpcahil 703-430-9247 ! | Virtual Technologies Inc., P. O.

Any ideas? Throw away your Logitech mouse and get a Microsoft Mouse. That's what I had to do after my Orchid ProDesigner didn't talk to the Logitech and Logitech never answered their phone. The MSM works just fine. -- Phil Ngai, phil@diablo.amd.com {uunet,decwrl,ucbvax}!amdcad!phil "Should the US send assault rifles to Colombia? How about small arms?"

If you have a serial mouse, all you need is a recent Microsoft mouse driver. The Logitech mouse faithfully implements the MS protocol and Microsoft drivers are happy with it. To my considerable surprise, Microsoft is pretty casual about passing around their mouse drivers, most likely because they update them about every two weeks and new versions of their software never work with old drivers. if you have one of their mouse-oriented products like Word or Windows, they include a mouse driver. Otherwise, they seem to have sanctioned putting the drivers on BBSes. -- John R.
