I'm trying to write a game that uses the mouse with allegro.

I understand that when you blit to the screen the pointer will flicker but
I've tried every combonation of vsync(), blit(), scare_mouse() and
unscare_mouse()
and even my own function to draw the mouse pointer
is there a way to get around the flicker?

right now it works like this...

do{
    //important game junk
    vsync();
    blit(vidbuf, screen, 0,0, 0,0, 640, 480);
    fillrect(screen, mouse_x, mouse_y, mouse_x+8, mouse_y+8, 0x00FF00);
} while (!kbhit());

and I get a blinking yellow box for a pointer.
