With the default installation of FreeDOS 1.1 on real hardware (Pentium II @ 300 MHz, 48 MB, ATI 3D Rage Pro AGP video with 4 MB), I find that the mouse pointer in Edit with a file open is almost invisible. There are partial-image flashes of the expected brown rectangle. But if I open a menu, then there is a nice solid brown rectangle while the menu is open.
In the FreeDOS Help system, the pointer is a nice solid gray. I got the same results with 2 LCD monitors and also a CRT. I don't have anything additional installed on this system yet so I don't know what the behavior will be in other programs. The mouse pointer has never been pretty in Edit -- it's usually flashing but fully visible -- but I have never seen it virtually invisible like this. Initially I thought there was no pointer until I stepped through the Autoexec.bat startup and confirmed that MOUSE does indeed run successfully, after which I looked harder and saw the visual traces of the pointer in Edit. Does anyone have an explanation or solution? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
