on the latest version 0.11.3 mouse support fails,,i can see the mouse at power up, but if i move the mouse ,it disappeared imediatelly,but if i reinstall previous version ,it works fine, have checked the conf,,anyone known how to fix it?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
By "previous version," do you mean 0.11.2? There were no changes to mouse or touchpad support with version 0.11.3, so a change from 0.11.2 is puzzling.
Also, what type of machine is this? In particular, is it a 64-bit or 32-bit system? (I'm interested in the EFI bit depth, which rEFInd's about/info screen will show, not the CPU bit depth.)

I can confirm the same problem with version 0.11.4-0ppa1. The mouse cursor dissapears after moving fine for a second or less. This is with a 2018/03/09 BIOS on Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming GT (rev. 1.0) mainboard.

@srs5694 Hey Rod, I think I may have a solution to this.
It's been some time, so I can't remember exactly why now, but I remember that to get the mouse icon to work correctly it had to be square. Since the area around the mouse is transparent, it would automatically get cropped out, causing the loaded image to have different dimensions.
In the old mouse.png the bottom-right pixel had a value of #00000001 so it would register as part of the image (but be effectively invisible) and wouldn't be cropped out, but the new one does not have this.
I haven't tested my theory, but it's the only change I can see that may cause an issue.

Ok tested that theory. Doesn't work. I loaded the 11.4 version into the EFI partition. Then copied the v11.2 "mouse.png" into \efi\refind\icons. Rebooted. Mouse no work. then went back into windows. Copied only the refind_x64.efi from v11.2 back into \efi\refind. Rebooted and the mouse worked.
So 11.2 works. 11.4 does not. To me the difference is in the complied refind_x64.efi. If its not in the code then it in the libraries to was compiled from. there a difference somewhere. in the code.
Note I did like the theory. It just didn't seem to pan out.
Rod,
I looked at the refind -info. On lt only diff saw was 11.2 vs 11.4
same ver EFI Version 2.70
same 86_64
same bios American Megatrends 5.12 (I'm using Intel NUC8I7HVK)
Both complied on tianocore EDK2
Didn't see a bit depth any where.
