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.
