Two mouse cursors in Win 98/ME Full Screen

SDL Development
1

When I run my game in Win 98 or ME, full screen, I get two mouse cursors. One
is inactive. Both are black and white. This does not happen in XP. AFAIK, I’m
not doing anything at all with mouse cursors - (not trying to change their shape
or anything - just leaving it alone as the default pointer).

This happens to me on two different machines - a 98 SE machine, and an ME
machine, both with rather different configs and the like (I believe, but am not
certain, that they have different graphics cards).

Thoughts?

If you are using hardware surfaces in fullscreen mode, you need to draw the
cursor yourself. Use SDL_ShowCursor(0) and integrate the cursor drawing into
your code.
