Anyone else have the issue with a 5850 where the mouse cursor blows up to an abnormally large size? usually after running a 3d application.

It's weird it only does it on 1 of my monitors (i use 2)

Any thoughts?
 
Same issue here (my cursor is blown up as I'm typing this) using catalyst 9.11 beta drivers with win7 64 rtm. Hoping the next driver release fixes this. Kind of annoying.
 
yeah very annoying.
enable the mouse trail solves the problem, ati better fixes it in the official 9.10
 
If you enable and then disable the mouse trail does it stay fixed Bangmal?
 
This is a powerplay problem with the ATI drivers. This causes the large cursor as well as pegging cpu usage and terrible problems with full screen HD video/flash and has been causing some slowdown in some games.

You can fix this by setting your GPU clocks with AMD GPU Clock Tool, however this pretty much negates any power saving features of the 5850. (as well as fan control from what I can see, so I use it in conjunction with MSI Afterburner and set up fan control there)

Very very annoying issue... AMD needs to get on the ball here and fix this in their drivers so people don't have to do retarded work arounds and disable energy saving etc etc...
 
Same issue here - Crossfire 5850's. It looks like the trick with the mouse trail works, but as soon as you disable it, the problem comes back. Very annoying...
 
after some looking, I have found that the core and mem clocks have been flutucating between the full 3d clock and the idle clock, many suspect that it is the problem. Here is what I did:

slide the core / mem clocks as low as the ccc allows, and save it as a profile "2d"

slide back to your 3d clock, and save it as "3d".

I use "3d" when I play games, for regular desktop task, I use "2d", so far so good, no more large cursor, no more hd video crashing, yet.
 
Hmm, I guess I'm lucky in that I'm "only" experiencing the large mouse cursor issue and not the HD video crashing issue which many others are reporting. Long thread on the amd forums about the mouse cursor issue.
 
hate to chime in late but is there a fix for this issue yet? I got the 5850 the week they came out and had the issue ever since.
 
Seems updating the motherboard BIOS fixed it for some. Give that a try. (Someone had to use a beta BIOS for a Gigabyte P55 series board. Which you also have.)
