   On the Screen page, which contains the settings you mentioned, the   
   'Display Info' box shows the chipset it detected.  If it doesn't   
   recognize the chipset, it falls back to VBE mode and displays that   
   instead.   
      
   I'm using an Intel G43 chipset for which it doesn't have a specific   
   driver, so it says "VESA VBE 3.0" there.  Since it doesn't know how   
   this particular adapter works, it can't use the hardware's facilities   
   to handle mouse pointer display.  Instead, it has to handle it in   
   software.  SNAP may use a software generated pointer in situations   
   other than VBE mode (VESA Bios Extensions) but that's the only case   
   I'm familiar with.
