I agree, it would be interesting to hear what they think. But I'm not going
to be too quick to suggest that it is an Amiga problem -- after all, these
aren't exactly standard spec. d'Amiga boxes anyway!

Erm, I can't remember. But it wasn't one of those. (I'm also using the
latest bios...)
Janne Siren is having the same problem with a 333Mhz machine, so perhaps it
isn't anything to do with the CPU speed.
What GFX card are you using? It wouldn't be an nVidia TNT2 would it? Lars
Thomas Denstad is using a TNT2, and now that I think about it, that would
have been around the same time that I was still using a TNT2. (Vanta M64
32meg). I remember reading some documentation for Unreal Tournament that
mentioned a bug with certain nVidia cards that made the mouse pointer very
jumpy in the title screen. (Sound familiar?!) This was under windows, but
perhaps it's the same thing that is happening under Linux.
I've since changed my card to a GeForce2 GTS, but I've moved my Linux
harddrive to my d'Amiga now, so I can't (easily) re-test it. :/
