Ryan, Deleting the patched Video Driver resource did not work. OS X booted, but with same frozen curser result as before. I hope you can find a solution to this problem. |

Info, are you running a Sonnet G4 Accelerator? If so, try installing Sonnet's Mac OS X Tune Up. This will make the L3 Cache on the card function properly in OS X and speed up things considerably. I'm still working on the curser problem -- but I'm going to try Ryan's (OS X Guru) suggestion (see below) regarding the video driver as soon as I get some free time. |

Ryan, I will try deleting "PatchedNDRVSupport.kext" per your recommendation. Glad to hear from you. This actually sounds like a realistic solution. I appreciate your response. Stay in touch!!! |

Hey everyone, I would also like to know why cursor will not show up! I just posted thread entitled "ADB, OS 10.2, PowerCenterPro" and after painstakingly!!! clicking and dragging around all the install screens, OS 10.2 is installing now, but my cursor does not show, and it is extremely slow! Any ideas??? Cursor arrow only stays in one place. But mouse movement slow, erratic, and unseen in the background. Thanks :-) |

My apologies for not responding sooner--I've been out of commission for a while, but am starting to catch up. Unfortunately, I don't have anything terribly wise to offer. The problem is almost certainly related to the video driver in one way or another, but I don't have a lot of insight into what might be causing it exactly. There was a problem in 10.2 with the cursor on the onboard video of the 7300 etc., and I wrote a kernel extension to fix that (it's called PatchedNDRVSupport.kext). The fix shouldn't interfere with the Radeon 7000, but I suppose there is some chance that it is. So you could try deleting that extension, to see if it makes a difference. |

I installed the proper ATI update through OS X. Have OS 10.2.5 installed completely on partition. Loads and functions fine. ONLY major problem is that curser does not move (although mouse does work and you can click and drag in background and "see" where mouse is. It's just that the image of the curser does not move with the actual mouse movement (very frustrating). |

i don't think that you will be able to because of the fact that you have not installed it yet and he had, but did you try yet anyway? because they may have it enabled for the installed. |

I'm not quite understanding how you activated the mouse keys. When I launch the OS X installer and XPostFacto reboots into OS X, how do I activate mouse keys? |

I used the mouse keys to get the software to reinstall. I booted into 0S9 and update ATI driver for my ATI 7000 card, then booted into OSX and my mice was back. Some where I read that ADB support was been limited or drop in each successive update after 10.2. |

Hmmm, Is the VRAM from the on board video removable? Might be worth a try.... Have you tried moving the radeon around to all available slots? Marty |

No, the original on board video does not support OS X. The Radeon 7000 is the recommended video card for my machine. Unfortunately, I don't have another type of video card to test. Good thought though. It seems odd that every other part of the video would function except the curser. Even the rotating multi-colored beach ball curser works and rotates, just can't move it across the screen. There's another person on the forum who's having a similar problem but with a laptop. Note: I've also tried Sonnet's OS X installer (v1.2.6) which won't even load past the initial video boot (black screen). Their tech support actually recommended XPostFacto as the other option, unfortunately they can't help me with the support. |

Do you have another video card to try? What about the built in video on the powercenter? Does that work if ou remove the Radeon and hook your monitor up to it? Marty |

I'm still waiting for an answer as to why my curser will not function in OS X. Have both ADB and USB mice, neither of which function properly in OS X. |

Not really interested in using mouse keys. Would like to use full mouse control. Are you saying that I can access my mouse by using mouse keys first? I'm just about ready to give up on OS X. I'm very discouraged by the lack of support by the author. |

I had a same problem of the cursor frozen in the top left corner at bootup. It worked in OS9 correctly so I knew the hardware was fine. IT isn't XPostFacto fault. My problem occurred after updating to 10.2.3 from 10.2. The fix is to too install Airport 2.1.1 and ipod updater software even though I don't own these Hardware products. I login using the tab key to select my login name if needed. The trick is using the "mouse keys" on your numeric pad. To turn them on System pref press Ctrl-F1 (toggle Full keyboard access),Ctrl-F2 (menu),Ctrl-F3 (dock),Ctrl-F4 (window), Ctrl-F5 (toolbar), Ctrl-F5 (Utility), allow Full Keyboard access for any control in the keyboard pref pane (THE SPACEBAR IS THE SELECTOR KEY). In the Universal Access allow Universal acess and turn on mouse keys ( 5 key is the mouse button). Set the Initial delay to short. After you have mouse key working. Install Airport and ipod software, restart. |

I tried today removing the original 64MB of RAM and an older 64MB chip (leaving 2 128MB chips remaining (60ns). Still the problem remains! This is really stumping me. It must have something to do with the Catalyst architecture. |

if your waiting for OSX Guru you may want to grab a snickers, its gonna be a while (well at least it has been a while...) there is another thread like yours just with a Kanga (3400) but he said that his just doesn't work but we are investigating it, so you may want to try some of the suggestions there too. |

Tried reinstalling and that didn't work -- same problem. I am experimenting with the RAM installed. Actually, I have 384 MB RAM, not 256. Could be the original 64MB RAM module that is causing the problem. That is my next excursion. Still waiting for the author's response. |

I had cursor problem (not exactly the same as yours) which was fixed be reducing the total amount of ram in my 9600. I have no idea why. Also, you might try reinstalling the ATI software if you can (without a visible cursor). Do you have any other video cards to try? Very odd problem for sure. I think there is a hide cursor on this display option for systems with more then one display? maybe somehow this is on? How about resetting the output device option from XPF under OS9 to be radeonA and then restarting? Marty |

Do you see any errors while booting in verbose mode or in the system.log file? You may need to reinstall OS X if you can't figure out what piece of software is causing the problem. |

Reinstalling extensions and BootX did not help -- in fact I couldn't boot up for awhile. Finally got machine to boot in OS X, but same problem with curser. Still need help... Does the person who wrote this software ever answer questions on this forum? |

If you are by chance still running an old TwinTurbo video card, mine was incompatible with a Sonnet G4 800 and caused curser problems when I first installed it in my PowerTower Pro with both OS 9 and OS X. You need at least a Rage or Radeon for best performance. |
