I have exactly similar problem ... (With a temporary solution.)
When I set Virtual window size to more than 800x600 on 640x480
resolution(say 992x1000), I get following problem:
1. The total display size is proper i.e. 992x1000.
But, 2. The portion greater than 800 (vertically) is the redisplay of
portion from 0 to 192.
3. The mouse pointer disappears after 800. Yet it remains hidden
in the portion that is below 800x600. And it actually seems to
be there, i.e. it moves around hidden, and I can move the
virtual display etc.
This happens for both mono and color server. (I have not been able to
get resolution greater than 640x480 anyway.)
This problem DISAPPEARS if I set the resolution to say 800x600 (which
doesnot work properly in my case) and then switch back to 640x480 using
ctrl+Alt+'+' (In both color/mono servers). So It couldn't possibly be
the problem with actual hardware (which has 1 MB on it.) I feel it has
got to do with initialization of the card.
I am having Trident 8900c driver. And the server uses non-banked memory if I
use virtual = 800x600 and banked if it is greater. I am using 386SX
running at 25 MHz.
This is output I get for mono server when I have the problem:
