If the cursor or other things are messed up when an openGL app is running, you may not be running the proper video driver. There might be a special driver for the ATI card. In some cases it is best to turn off all the special driver acceleration features and use direct software rendering for EMC/Axis. The 3-D preview screen doesn't really use a lot of resources, so the penalty of software rendering is not great, and this sometimes clears up odd problems like you may be having.
