Subject: [Qemu-devel] NT4 white mouse pointer using Cirrus 5446 driver under 0.9.1
Date: Wed, 21 May 2008 15:27:31 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <48343153.8070901@siriusit.co.uk> (raw)
Hi there,
I've been using qemu 0.9.1 to run an NT4 installation as a guest, and
I'm having a problem with the mouse pointer within the NT4 guest
appearing as a white square.
During the initial installation, NT4 uses the standard MS VGA driver
which only supports 16 colours. Using this driver, the mouse pointer
appears to work as normal. When I change the video driver in NT4 to use
the Cirrus 5446 driver (in order to use a 1024x768 display in 256
colours), the guest screen appears without any problems, but the mouse
pointer always appears as a white square.
Can anyone explain why this is happening? I can provide some debug
information if people can point me in the right direction.
Many thanks,
Mark.
