cyrana Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Well, you have an unsupported video card. I can't verify since I only have supported ones (onboard Intel Video).

eclipxe Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Well, you have an unsupported video card. I can't verify since I only have supported ones (onboard Intel Video). <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have the intel integrated graphics (CI/QE both enabled) but I have no cursor shadow - is there a toggle somewhere? I have window shadows just fine -Chris Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/2517-no-cursor-shadow/#findComment-16551 Share on other sites More sharing options...

scj312 Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Is there a way to force it on a Nvidia 6600? Integrated stuff sucks. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/2517-no-cursor-shadow/#findComment-25067 Share on other sites More sharing options...
scj312 Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 This is in VMware. It there a way to get the VMware tools installed to get the shadow? (or again, force it.) :?

dotdd Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Cursor Shadow is only available when the display card supports Quartz Extreme. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/2517-no-cursor-shadow/#findComment-30336 Share on other sites More sharing options...
parch Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I have ATI Radeon9600XT with CI and QE and no cursor shadow, too. I also get artifacts with the cursor when changing the screen at the pointer...

You have to have your fingers off the mouse to not click. Its like wtf?!?! plus 3 out of 10 from maximium PC. Heh ya like i said well on the subject at school when using the emacs there i just feel plain stupid using a mouse with on click button that u can click with with your palm. The inventor of the mouse want to put as many buttons as possible on the mouse but only had the technology for 3 hence we have the logitech mouses. f*** apples hardware. But the software is nice if you can get it to work Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/2517-no-cursor-shadow/#findComment-30557 Share on other sites More sharing options...
