Flawless Oddity Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I got Leopard to install without a problem, but I have noticed that every once in awhile, and around text my mouse glitches. Sometimes it just glitches the pointer on the screen and another one shows up with the first one just staying in one spot (if that makes any sense). Has any one else noticed this or is it just an issue with my setup? -Larry ***EDIT*** zoomie mentioned that he just replaced his GMA950 kext from Leopard with one from Tiger, I can confirm it fixed my problem with having multiple cursor glitches(also known as tearing) on web pages and around text. Just replace Leopards AppleIntelGMA950.kext with a one from Tiger and authenticate, repair permissions and reboot. **EDIT 2** seems this will disable qe/ci so it doesnt really fix the problem fully.

Nuifrkns Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Sounds like 'mouse tearing'. Search for that around here, there are a couple of things you can do to reduce it, not sure if it can be fully removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
komodojay Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Getting the same thing on my e1405 as well. only pops up though when the mouse moves over a text box or it hangs just long enough over text to switch to the text select icon. Gonna do some digging as suggested by Nuifrkns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flawless Oddity Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share Posted November 1, 2007 All the info I could find about mouse tearing was for ATI cards... I dont have ATI, I am using onboard graphics from my GA-945GZM-S2 I believe GMA950. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuifrkns Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Still worth a try to install Mouselocator... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flawless Oddity Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share Posted November 1, 2007 Few post said Mouselocator doesnt work with Leopard, but I will try. EDIT: It seems to make the glitching a little better, but if I move the mouse around a lot around text, like a web page like this, I still get two cursors and one will go away after awhile.

nicko_029 Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 I have that tearing too...IMHO, drivers for graphic card are 'guilty' for that... And also, I can't get higher resolution than 1400x1050... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreatDeceiver Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 same here on my E1505 with gma 945, every once in a while, just what you say. this is new. wonder what this is about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoomie Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 I had the same screen artifacts problem with my Leopard install. At least on my system, it has something to do with the GMA950 driver. I've experienced this issue with both the Brazilmac and ToH Leopard installers. On a whim, I extracted and installed the gma950.pkg from the Kalyway Leopard Installer...based on an older, pre-release build of Leopard. It seems to have fixed the mouse trailing / screen artifacts from my system. I have only had it running on the older driver for about 20 minutes, but I haven't had a problem yet. I'll update this post if I get screen artifacts again, but so far so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just copied over my AppleIntelGMA950.kext from my Tiger partition over to my Leopard Extensions folder, repaird permissions and rebooted. Now I have no more lagging/glitchy/tearing mouse. THANKS.

Dr. Hurt Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Leopard GMA950 drivers will need a NATIT-like driver to enable them without glitches. Paulicat is working on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flawless Oddity Posted November 3, 2007 Author Share Posted November 3, 2007 It has come to my attention that after replacing the kext in Leopard with the one from Tiger my QE is now "not supported"... So this didn't fix it 100% yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclonefr Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Did you guys try to put AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext from 10.4.4 (or the one you were using and that was working in Tiger (which is from 10.4.4)) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark_Elf Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 In Kalyway's package there is AppleIntegratedFramebuffer, so this is not the problem.
