- I am having trouble with losing my mouse pointer when I switch to full
- screen DOS or WIN-OS/2 sessions. I have a Tseng 4000 based card. I am
- running PM at 1024x768x16 with the newer orchid drivers from hobbes. I
- am running WIN-OS/2 with Win3.0 driver from Boca at 640x480x256. When I
- run a WIN-OS/2 program, say WINGIF, everything works fine UNTIL I switch
- back to the PM desktop. When I return to the WIN-OS/2 session the mouse
- pointer has vanished, although the mouse works (you can push buttons
- and things happen). I have VIDEO_SWITCH_NOTIFICATION set on, and I have
- MOUSE_EXCLUSIVE_ACCESS set on as well. Is there a problem with using
- different video mode in PM and full screen WIN-OS/2?
-
- The problem is restricted to WIN-OS/2, cause I lose the pointer in DOS games
- when I return to them. I am using a Microsoft compatiable mouse, if that
- helps.

- thanks
