As of 1.9.4, svgalib will have cursor support. In the announcement I'll make within a week, I'll give the details. The support includes hardware cursor on some chipsets (nv, banshee, i740, sis, mx) and software cursor on the rest. The software cursor does not seem jumpy on my slowest machines (K6-200 and P-233), but I guess that might depend on what the program does otherwise. -- Matan Ziv-Av matan@svgalib.org
