NAME

       enable_hardware_cursor  -  Enables the OS hardware cursor. Allegro game
       programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       void enable_hardware_cursor(void);

DESCRIPTION

       After calling this function, Allegro will let the operating system draw
       the  mouse cursor instead of doing it itself. This is not possible with
       all graphics drivers though: you'll need to check the  gfx_capabilities
       flags  after  calling  show_mouse()  to  see  if  this  works.  On some
       platforms, enabling the hardware cursor causes  get_mouse_mickeys()  to
       return  only  a  limited  range  of values, so you should not call this
       function if you need mouse mickeys.
