I'm using a OPTIMA 1024 VGA card ( TSENG 3000 chipset ) on SCO UNIX 3.2v2 and VPIX 1.2.0n and am experiencing some cursor 'wierdness'. The cursor constantly 'homes' itself to the bottom left corner of the screen after each key input. It also changes from a block to an underscore and back. Has anyone seen this problem and if so did you fix it? ( and how ). A related problem seems to be that with certain graphics programs using standard VGA ( 640x480x16 ), my vga card goes into some unreadable mode with a mosaic of blocks where there were once colors. I've tried a couple of different cards of this type with the same behaviour. The card works flawlessly under dos... Any help is appreciated. PK -- Phil Kemp CONVEX Computer of Canada Ltd.

I'm using an HP Vectra RS with HP VGA card. After VPIX boots the cursor is in the right place at the end of the line, but with every character typed it returns to the lower left corner. I am not aware of a fix (not even sure it's a bug.) Phil Fuhrman - Hewlett Packard, Analytical Products
