i have had trouble with vesa cursor in 1600x1200. generally when i have trouble, the cursor won't move at all. one problem i did not finish looking at were the spill-over bits in vga register 13. nvidia is slow, but have you tried with the newly-integrated mtrr or the pat stuff? my pentium iv terminal is pretty snappy in 1600x1200x32 + pat my amd terminal with a pcie card + pat is even snapper, until the screen is read. one of these days i'll figure out why the radeon driver is broken for me and/or integrate aki's double buffer. even with WT memory, that only speeds the write path. - erik
