- Yes, I get the same problem. I can drag windows, but not highlighted icons.
- It also depends on how I configure the Vantage card for my monitor. If I
- choose NEC 4D/5D (70 Hz vert refresh) or NEC 5D (72 Hz), everything is fine.
- If I try a 76 Hz vertical refresh in a custom configuration to better use
- the NEC 5FG I have, then the system will crash hard, just as you describe.
- It crashes regardless of whether I use the in-port mouse with the Vantage
- card or a serial mouse. Could this be at 76 Hz the IRQ rate clogs the
- system?
