I read about the big mouse cursor issue, I think it was fixed in 9.12 not sure. I never had that problem. However I have seen some cursor corruption before usually when I was setting up or saving profiles for my monitors.

Today though after going from a single screen setup to my multi screen setup the cursor became corrupted and its quite annoying.

I have various corrupted forums of each cursor, meaning my text mouse cursor that is normally a bar is this big black box with some dots and lines on it, and my arrow cursor is like a double arrow.

What is truly unique about this and what makes me believe its definitely an eyefinity issue is that right now the corruption is ONLY present on my center monitor while in eyefinity mode. Soon as move between the bezels and onto one of the side monitors the cursor is back to normal again.

I am hoping a reboot or something fixes it if not this is going to be incredibly annoying.

I get that too. Sometimes it gets stuck as a squiggly or a broken arrow, tends to vary.

Sometimes it fixes itself too, very strange.

I have not hard rebooted the computer yet but I have logged off, disabled eyefinity and a bunch of other stuff to fix it, and so far no luck.

I went into the windows cursor setup and figured changing cursors may reset it, also no luck. Same corruption on center monitor only (even in clone/span modes not just eyefinity) no matter what cursor.

Then at last I found a work around, enabling the cursor tails option seems to circumvent the corrupted cursor. So I just turned the tails on and left it on the lowest setting so I cant really even tell they are on and the cursor is back to normal.

Strangely that makes my cursor invisible in games.

I have the same problem every now and then, only a restart fixed it for me.

BTW ViciousXUSMC, did u ever get the "line" problem fixed that you were having? I am having that issue as well and still have found no fix.

About once a day the mouse cursor turns into a column of 8 or so tiny arrows, but only on my left screen. But the top-left is still te pointer...point, so it's fine until reboot.

Of course i'd rather not see it at all.

[quote]I have the same problem every now and then, only a restart fixed it for me.

Same here, I just do a restart and broken arrow is fixed. I belive it has only started when going in an out of DAO.

have the same problem.
It didnt occur the first week of eyefinity use.
But now it occurs more often.

I found out it only happens when you have OpenGL/D3D/DX apps running (like games or render programs).

It is something that happens random, so just starting up a game wont immediatly show the artifacted cursor.

The way to fix it for me is a restart (warm boot is fine).

When it occurs on one screen, but not on the others doesnt mean it wont occur on other screens. Totally random, once i had it on both side screens, once on all 3. For the moment just on the left screen and i thought to be finding a solution on google and got on here...

my setup:
1x 17" Acer AL1715 (vga)
1x 17" Samsung SyncMaster 730BF (dvi)
1x 17" Acer AL1617 (vga with DP-VGA Adapter)

resolution: 3840x1024

i was playing Anno1404 (still running on background), but i had this problem in other games before like CounterStrike Source, Zombie Panic Source, Dragon Age Origins ...

Hard to reproduce, so i understand its hard for devs to track it down, but hella annoying when it occurs.

After a while you dont even care about the reboot, just ignore it and go with it lol

I tried screenshotting the cursor but that doesnt work lol ...

I have the same issue. Sometimes starts on my middle monitor using the sapphire adapter. Then spreads to the outside monitors. The only way to correct is warm reboot. Soooo annoying!

Anyone have a fix for this yet?

I suffer the same problem too, hopefully will be fixed in a new version of the drivers :()
