Hello, I am having a problem concerning drawing of the mouse pointer(in
an interrupt)
and drawing of normal graphics (not in an interrupt) in banked SVGA mode
0x101 (640*480*256) . What happens is that the mouse pointer sometimes
is drawn
to the wrong area of the screen but only when the pointer is on a bank
boundry.
This also only occurs when other graphics are being drawn in non
interupt code,
everything works fine in linear mode though. Any way here are a few
pieces of code which
may help diagnose my annoying problem.

Thanks for any help given
Simon

The following are from a set of libraries I am writing so some
variables and declarations may be external.

        first_set=FALSE;
    else{
        if (bank == System.Video.CurrentBank){
            return;
        }
   }
    bank <<= GlobaVESAInfo.WinGranularity;
    regs.x.ax = 0x4F05;
