#DOSBOX WINDOWS 3.1 MOUSE NOT WORKING INSTALL#

You may have to get rid of the oem.inf files and start the graphics driver part fresh. Also if you tried many different ones look at what I wrote in the Trooubleshooting part of my guide. He went from “I don’t know assembly” to “I just coded a mouse driver, in Assembly, for a 29 year old platform” in one day. Just be aware that normal Dosbox works best with the S3 driver. The developer didn’t know Assembly before starting this project. Overall, I'm glad this was surprisingly easy, considering I didn't know x86 assembly before, and I only implemented this in a day - with lots of struggling against MASM and typos. For those situations, VMware offers absolute positioning through a port I/O interface. However, there wasn't a standard way of doing absolute positioning with PC input devices until the USB tablet standard, and Windows 3.x/DOS massively predate USB, let alone have a USB stack. Being able to send the absolute coordinates would be great, because you can know the exact point when the cursor hits the edge. You'd have to trap the mouse inside of the guest for this to work any tracking difference would result in a very hard to control cursor. Normally, mice work by sending a delta of their movements. The details on how it works a pretty fascinating read. Sharing files with MS-DOS Windows 3. Note, please use MS-DOS as the DOS system for WFW as others may not work properly.

It implements the interface that VMware uses (the backdoor ), replacing the existing PS/2 mouse driver. The best way to network, is to use Windows for Workgroups 3.11 (WFW), which allows you to install networking properly, without using up precious conventional memory with DOS drivers. Or want to control your cursor at all under the ESXi web UI? (It doesn't do relative input.) Wish you could just move the cursor in and out like a modern OS (one with USB tablet support or VMware Tools drivers), with no Ctrl+Alt dancing? Running Windows 3.1 in VMware (or seemingly, QEMU, but it's not yet tested), but annoyed by having to grab and ungrab the cursor manually? This driver is intended entirely for usage within VMWare.
