SDL Cursor on Load / Optimizations

[framerate]

Does anyone know what causes there to be a cursor in the upper left corner of the screen when running an SDL program? It seemed that SDL_NOFRAME got rid of it on SDL_HWSURFACE, but on SWSURFACE it seems to be back (but I could be wrong). Anyone have any tips to get rid of it?

Also on that note...

Any SDL developers... what values do you use to SDL_SetVideoMode. I'm not seeing much of a difference, although the game feels "funny" on certain settings. When I add double buffering to this option, I get a funny flicker effect on my screen fades (seems backwards? Flicker WITH double buffering?)

Currently I'm using this:

screen = SDL_SetVideoMode(480, 272, 32,SDL_SWSURFACE|SDL_NOFRAME);

but I'm not sure that's the best... Any tips? This is my first work with SDL on the PSP.

Hope this helps. It is the api reference to the SDL_ShowCursor() function.

hahah thanks Ravine. I can't believe it's something that simple. I thought it had to do with the init or sure!
