Hello, since I work with SFP I have a problem. It's got something to do with the display, the mouse is working very slowly, only in the SFP-environment. In the classic mode it is even worse. I heard someone saying it is a combination of using the SFP with matroxG450 dualhead videocard. Is that so and is there a solution for this problem ?

Check that your mouse isn't sharing an IRQ with something else maybe?

I'm running G450/SFP/WinXP and do not have this problem. I run in "Standard" mode and NOT classic.

I'm running dual 1024*768x16bit, 75 & 85Hz, for long -never experienced that problem.

Did you see the tweaks in Tips & Tricks forum? Might come in handy too.

I 'm experiencing some jerky mouse movement when i use alot of CPU resources (about 50-60%) at cubase (about 70-75 in task manager) and pass the mouse cursor over pulsar mixer. I have a intel 880 graphic adaptor with 8mgb of ram (agp) which uses a lot of cpu to update the screen. If i close the pulsar mixer (from the screen) the mouse moves smoothier. i 'm planning for a new graphic card can u tell me if any provides enough performance to have smooth pulsar environment or is my system just getting old? (pent iii 850)

Hello, the problem is solved already.. I thought I had the latest matrox G450 drivers, but that wasn't the case... Now, after updating the videocard-drivers, I have no problems with SFP anymore... :smile:
