When the cursor leaves the window, is it in sync with the Win32 mouse
cursor.  There is a bug that I have not been able to fix.  Try bringing
both cursors to the bottom right of the screen to 'resync' them.

Try a mode of 1024x768[GT_16BIT]  You will have to change the windows
color depth to 16 bits also.

Also try a smaller resolution  ( 800x600 )

do you get an xterm if you just type 'xterm' ?
