garbled cursor

[VetteMan]

if it causes only in rhino you should try different setups in Tools->Options--> Display and OpenGL tabs. Also you should update your graphics card's drivers up to latest version.

I thought it was just me that have that problem. I think it is something about ATI Mobility X1600 card, because my notebook has this graphic cards too.

i updated the video driver and tried all the Driver Display Modes and also changing the Wireframe Viewport Options (tried OpenGL and Windows). also disabled hardware anti-aliasing. still get a garbled cursor.

do you just deal with it? i find it so annoying that i just don't use rhino on the Toshiba, so i don't know what other bugs may exist with the X1600.

try to cancel mouse's pointer shadow and use a standard windows pointer. I'm not sure that it's work, but windows graphics system would using direct3d and direct3d would conflict with openGL.
Go to control panel--> mouse-->pointers and select pointer style [None] (there would not be a "style" tab, my windows's language is Turkish, so i don't know how they named windows in English). Then go to My computer --> properties-->Advanced--> Settings under Performance tag--> Click "Setup for best performance" radio button.
Or you can only disable mouse's pointer shadow from that list. But for ensuring that is not causes from windows, i adviced to disable all visual settings.
hope this helps...

ps: my English is not so good, please tell me where you couldn't understand. i can try to explain it using pictures.

i was hoping that your "disable pointer shadow" trick would work, unfortunately still no luck. i disabled all windows effects as well.

Try adjusting the hardware acceleration setting.

Display > Settings > Advanced > Troubleshoot

Then look for Hardware acceleration settings. Sometimes when I have problems I would reduce the hardware acceleration by one notch and it helps in fixing some of the problems.

Try out the different settings and see if it helps.

That was it!!! I never noticed that hardware setting before. I was just adjusting settings using the Radeon control panel or inside Rhino.

Thanks, Snecx!
