Alan: What mode are you using?
My graphics GUI uses mode 257, and the mighty.e mouse support
written by Pete.

Your vesa drivers may not support the modes you're trying to use. Do a
web search for "univbe", "universal bios extensions" or "scitech display
doctor". Scitech's web site is http://www.scitechsoft.com. These
programs make your svga bios more compatible and can actually add more
modes.

Btw, mighty.e is only available from my web site (address below sig). The
mighty mouse routines work in svga modes, and allow custom mouse cursors.

Irv,
I used mode 261, which I heard (and think I read) was svga mode. Isn't
that the "best" mode?
