VNC4.0b4 cursor problem

[Karl M]

Hi All...

I have installed RealVNC 4.0b4 on four machines: one Win98 and three Win2k 
machines. On the Win98 and two Win2k machines, it works great. On one Win2k 
machine, I have the following problem. All machines previously worked great 
with 3.3.7. When I installed 4.0b4, I did a clean install...removing all of 
the old ORL registry entries.

This machine has no monitor, keyboard or mouse attached, except when I take 
it down the hall for a special purpose (like upgrading from 3.3.7 to 4.0b4). 
My only access is via VNC (and also OpenSSH/Cygwin). Other than no monitor, 
this machine and one of the working ones are similar.

When I VNC into this machine, I don't get a local cursor reliably. When I 
first log in, I get the little "box" cursor. Then when I run programs, I 
occasionally see the arrow cursor. For example when I run regedit, I only 
get the arror cursor when regedit is displaying for example the "search in 
progress" box. When the box goes away, the arrow cursor goes away. At times, 
then I have no cursor at all on the screen because sometimes the little 
"box" cursor goes away. This makes it a bit interesting to navigate.

If I disable the local cursor rendering, then I get the little "box" cursor 
all the time. The arrow cursor still comes and goes in regedit exactly as 
before. But at least, I never loose the little "box" cursor.

I have tried disabling the graphics accellerations. No change.

Has anyone else seen this behavior? Any thoughts on what else to try or to 
look for?

Thanks,

...Karl
