Mouse cursor corrupted on "BAT LOW" warning



If I let my battery get too low, the BIOS brings up a "BAT LOW" warning. 
After that happens, my mouse cursor gets changed to be the words "BAT 
LOW".  There does not seem to be a way to disable this feature of the 
BIOS.  If I switch to a virtual console and then back to X, the mouse 
reverts to being an arrow, but shrunken down, repeated an inch to the 
right (so there are two arrows), and has a bunch of garbage below the 
two.  Sometimes, restarting X restores the cursor, but often it 
doesn't.

How do I prevent this from happening?  Any leads for what documentation 
to look at?  (found nothing in the howto's or on tuxmobil)

I'm running a Gateway Solo 9150.  Upgrading to the latest BIOS (12.03) 
did not solve the problem.  The graphics chip is an ATI 3D Rage LT Pro 
AGP-133.

TIA

Regards,
Neil
