Hey I found a Windows 2000 laptop that exhibits the same symptoms so
I did a quick google search for "flickering cursor".
It looks like the nasty flickering pointer is a common problem in
Windows 2000. Go to the Control Panel/Mouse/Pointer tab and uncheck
Enable Pointer Shadow. Apparently this little piece of eye candy
expects to use Alpha blending hardware, and when it's not available,
it goes berserk. Anyhow, disabling it solved many of the problems
on this laptop. I don't think this is opengl specific, but I
could be wrong.
Speaking of disabling, what's the point of those animated tooltips
for the Maximize, Minimize, and close buttons? Unfortunately it
looks like you need to use regedit to disable them. Figures.

Looks like I'm gonna have to do some Windows specific code to back
up the color buffer in order to avoid full redraws caused by those
silly things. Oh well.
Don
