- I have found that my pointer will dissappear when it's within
- so many pixels of the right edge of the screen. This only happens
- when I have overscan --- which I almost always have. I don't know much
- about hardware registers, but having a vague idea how sprites work,
- I would expect that there are limit to where the sprites can appear.
