> I've upgraded my AS 1000A 5/400 firmware from version 5.1 to 5.3.
> Upon that upgrade, the mouse pointer disappeared from the CDE console
> plus character sized black stripes partially obscured the text in the
> CDE logon box.

> I then downgraded the firmware back to 5.1 and the symptoms
> disappeared.

> Diskette V1.11A DEC Alpha".
