ABSTRACT:
The present invention includes an event detector for detecting selected events occurring in a computer system which are programmed to automatically move a cursor image from a viewing area of a video display to an overscanned area of a video display. The invention further includes a cursor controller for generating the cursor image and controlling movement of the cursor image on the video display. The cursor controller automatically places the cursor image in the overscanned area of a video display when the event detector detects the occurrence of a selected event. Alternatively, the event detector can include a timer for delaying the notification of detection to the cursor controller of the selected event.
