Has anyone gotten mouse support under VESA? Under mode 13h it worked without
a hitch, although I was also developing under real mode, not 32bit
protected. I can initialize no problem, but when I poll for mouse moves
delta x and y will never be negative and therefore the mouse is only able to
move right and down. Also, __dpmi_int kicks me out of protected mode for a
few moments to interrupt 0x33 (in my case) and lags the program a bit, does
it not? Is there any better way to play with the mouse driver in protected
mode? And please, don't point me towards a library, I want some tangible
code or suggestions so that I actually understand what's happening...
Thanks in advance,
Daniel Eaton
