Hi
I'm making a game using djgpp and nasm(using DOS). I built my images in a 
buffer and then i move my buffer to my VESA 640*480*16bits banked screen. 
As it's a wargame i need a mouse and i've succedeed (don't remember the 
spelling) into using it. My only problem is that i can't draw a cursor 
without having sheat following my cursor, as if my function (called by 
the mouse driver)  didn't erase the cursor from my buffer before drawing 
it at a new place ! I don't understand either why this problem doesn't 
appear at all when my mouse moves left or up, why it appears a little 
when it moves right and A LOT when it moves down !!!!!!
please help me !!! this is my drawcursor function called by the mouse 
driver (the main loop of my game only moves buffer to screen at the 
moment)


void DrawCursr(MOUSE_INT_ARGS) //arguments i defined : position and 
				//buttons state
{
        int x, y, ox, oy;
        if(Souris.AfficheCurseur) //if cursor has to be displayed
        {
        for(int h=0;h<32;h++)
        {
                for(int j=0;j<32;j++)
                {
                ox=Souris.OldX+j;
                oy=Souris.OldY+h;
                VirtualScreen[oy*640+ox]=Souris.SousCurseur[h*32+j];
//restore background
//VirtualScreen is my offscreen buffer
//Souris is my mouse class
//Souris.SousCurseur is a 32*32*16bits memory block used to save my 
//cursor background

                x=X+j;
                y=Y+h;
//save background
                Souris.SousCurseur[h*32+j]=VirtualScreen[y*640+x];
//draw cursor (65086 is the color i use for transparency)
//Souris.Curseur is a 32*32*16bits memory block containing my cursor's 
//pixels (the color to be displayed or 65086 not to be displayed)
                if(Souris.Curseur[h*32+j]!=65086 && x<640 && y<480)
                        VirtualScreen[y*640+x]=Souris.Curseur[h*32+j];
                }
        }
        }
}
