[comp.sys.amiga.misc] MachIII problem

jph@AIS.ORG (Joseph Hillenburg) (05/14/91)

I'm trying out MachIII right now, (on a trial basis) and love it, except when
it blanks out the mouse pointer, it blanks out all the other sprites, which,
for me, is undesirable. Anyone else had this problem, and a possible solution?

  A friend of mine noticed this while playing a game (you can easily
imagine the scene :-)). He didn't find anything better than deactivating
MachIII before playing and reactivating it after. I think this can be
accomplished via hotkeys. An IconX file will do as well.

You may want to try NewPop v4.0.

Under 2.0, MachIII's screen (SetMachIII) wont pull up (left-amiga-ctrl-esc).
It just sits at the bottom of the screen, and the pointer cant get to the
scroll bar to pull it up manually. Everything works fine under 1.3

PS: A great combo is MachIII and PopUpMenu. This way you can bypass the
MTM feature and not worry about menu/active window problems.

Strange..

Concerning this:

Under 1.3, I could run Dmouse and JrComm concurrently with no problem... After
5 or 6 seconds, my mouse pointer would vanish, as per request of Dmouse...



Under my kickstarted 2.0, When Dmouse makes me pointer vanish, the blinking
cursor on my JrCOmm vanishes as well!

What deh fuk!

I've always used Qmouse, and have never felt any need to switch.  Qmouse
is a nice small easy to use program.  But I've been away from Amiga for
a good year now at least, and I've never seen MachIII.

	This is not your problem only. Im running a 1.3 A500 and I have
the same problem. Dmouse 1.25. I think I'm going to switch. Too bad..
It sure is anoying using VI on a Unix system and not being able to know where
your cursor is!!!!
