For some weeks now I can see 2 mouse pointers when I move the mouse around below scan line 210-211 on my (PAL) screen. I see the second pointer following the first one when I move the mouse. Also, sometimes, when switching between screens (with A-M, with or without mouse accelerator, like DMouse), I can see the mouse or the "zzz" pointer hanging around on a screen, while I still have another mouse that I can move. My Hardware is: B2000 PAL ReV 4.3, Bridgeboard A2088, Kronos controller with 80MB Quantum, Supra 2MB RAM, Kickstart 1.3 (V34.5) installed 1,5 years ago, Big 1MB Agnus installed a couple of monthes ago, following Dave Haynies instructions here on the net: >The 1 Meg Agnus works in all B2000s. There are two or three jumpers to change >to install it correctly (J101 is moved, J500 is removed or cut depending on >how your board was assembled, and J102 is cut if you want to come up PAL >instead of NTSC). No special software need be run, the problems appears even with my old WB 1.2 disk ! It must be either a hardware or a ROM bug. I don't think that the problems began as soon as I installed the new Agnus, but the installation has been the last modification I made to the hardware. Any help appreciated. This pointer duplication is rather annoying! Joerg. hoehle@cs.uni-sb.de

It must be either a hardware or a ROM bug. Well, let's put it this way. It happens. We don't know why, but it's hardware and running PAL seems to be the cause. It has something to do with sprites and the Agnus. I see it happen (I'm in the NTSC wilderness, and it only happens when I use PAL) but someone with better hardware experience can probably help you out.
