Mouse = Black Block

Decided just for fun to try installing eCS on an old Toshiba Satellite 
4020CDT. Ancient, indeed. It all seemed to work except for one show 
stopper: after the third stage of installation and SNAP graphics took 
over, the pointer was transformed into a big black square.

I know in Linux that was a matter of getting the proper driver and mouse 
protocol together in times past. I'm unfamiliar with similar settings in 
eCS. The pointer is the older Trackpoint, and the chipset is Chips and 
Technology 65555 (with all of 2MB VRAM).

Any ideas?

Thorsten is right, sounds like an issue with hardware cursor support.

Hi Ed,

try this: Change with help of "gaoption" (in your snap-directory) the
          "acceleration"-option from "full" to
"most".

For more Informations, please take a look in Snap's .PDF-File, also in 
the snap-dir.!

I must do that with my old ATI 9600 and SNAP 2.4 too!
