monSTEr and MGR

[Steven Selick]

I just tried out monSTEr with MGR and mgr seemed to recognize the larger
screen, but it lost the scrolling capability. Any ideas? It would be
nice to be able to get a bigger screen with the multitasking graphics
system working.

There's not much that can be done without recompiling either MiNT or MGR.
The problem is that MGR uses MiNT's V:\MOUSE device to do mouse I/O,
and when this device is open mouse events aren't passed on to GEM and hence
the line A variables that most big screen emulators use for scrolling aren't
updated. The next version of MiNT will update those variables automatically.
