Subject: Mouse Cursors again!

I asked a question a few days ago about mousecursors. The thing is that
they flicker in almost every DOS application there is, but not in windows,
and I wanted to know why.

Then a few of you told me it was because windows uses the hardware cursor.
Now this made me wonder... What is a hardware mouse cursor then? Is it
implemented by the mouse-driver? Because in that case it seems kind of
software to me, and anyone should be able to do it. Or is it a feature of
the graphics card, that varies for each graphics card? If that is the case,
it must be able to do it using VESA, right!?

I know this is not a DJGPP specifig thing, but since we discussed it here
earlier I took the liberty of asking this question anyway. I hope nobody
minds me doing so.
