Mouse In Super Vga Mode

I was wondering if any can help with a problem I am having with getting the
mouse to display in Svga(640*480*256) mode using the SVGA256.BGI driver,
with a Mouse.tpu that i got from a friend, but I unfortunatly dont have the
source for, it seems to work fine for normal 640*480*16, but not for the 256
mode. If anyone can possibly point me in the right direction or if you know
of a mouse unit that supports this graphics mode I would be most grateful.

Thanks
Matt

Mouse drivers don't support any SVGA or higher modes... ie. they don't
know how to display an icon. What you need to do is write your own
code to display your own icon after getting the position of the mouse
cursor using the mouse interrupt.

Yes... it is a pain in the arse....but not impossible...

You may use the mouseunit, which is included in GrafX. Supports even
animated cursors, all windows format! The only thing would be that you
have to change to my unit. Downloadable from my homepage.
