     Re-initialize your mouse driver after you change the screen mode.

    Of course, you will have to use 'malloc' if you are using C.  And if you call
this function multiple times, make sure to
'delete[] MyArray' AFTER you delete each part of MyArray.

    All you need to do is sbrk(0x1000-(sbrk(0)&0xFFF));  Then you can use sbrk(n)
to allocate 'n' bytes page-aligned.
