Regarding the issue below - has anyone discovered a fix or a workaround
(aside from having a mouse dangling from all the machines in your farm,
that is)? I seem to be experiencing the same behavior.

Hi All...
More news...Its not the monitor or the keyboard that causes
the
problem...Its the mouse.
I tried various combinations on the Win2k machine and found
that when there
is a mouse attached, the cursor is generated just fine. When
there is no
mouse attached when I boot up the machine, then the previous
problem occurs.
It is interesting that without a mouse (I assume because there
is not a
mouse driver loaded) that the cursor still appears sometimes
(like when the
regedit searching window is displayed).
For now, I plugged an old mouse into my headless (VNC only)
server. Is there
a way (perhaps in the next release) to eliminate the mouse?
Thanks,
...Karl

Other than no
