Well, under DOS VGA text mode, mouse cursor is like "gpm" mouse cursor, a character cell which gets inverted or otherwise
IIRC it's inverted.
highlighted in order to show where mouse is currently located at.
This is aproximate, since we're talking a console window here, right? Where each block is a character? And there are only so many characters in the console window?
As far as I know, neither Wine nor Windows supports this
Supported in Win9x (probably others) in console mode with mouse input enabled (properties box somewhere) and in full screen mode. It doesn't show that way under Windowed/Boxed mode on 9x, because it's pointless -- why should you have a block cursor in the console following an already existing, nice graphical pointer in Windows?
and SetConsoleCursorInfo really has no effect on mouse cursor, anyway. So, under text mode, hide/show functions should do nothing.
