pointer

[howell@cats.ucsc.edu]

This is probably a FAQ but I don't have a CE-ROM to check my
MCL CD.  When I boot MCL in Europe I get a square mottled
pointer that is very strange and almost impossible to use for
editing.  A friend recently booted MCL using a Centris AV and
got the same results.  What is this thing and how can I get
rid of it?

Thanks in advance,

Best,
