Rectangles Trailing Mouse in Virtuoso/Exceed

I run Cadence Virtuoso on my Windows PC using SSH and Exceed. When I move
the mouse in the cellview window I get a trail of tiny black boxes that
follow the mouse (like I'm using the spraypaint can in a drawing program),
and I have to redraw the layout frequently to get rid of them. The thing is,
this effect depends on the computer I'm using. I get black boxes on my
computer, yellow boxes on my co-worker's computer, and no boxes on some
other computers. Several people at my office in UC Berkeley have this
problem. All computers have the same install of Windows 2000, the same
versions of Exceed, and as far as I can tell the same Exceed settings, and
I'm always SSHing to the same Solaris machine to run Cadence. I don't know
if the problem is with Cadence, SSH, Exceed, or Windows. Does anyone know
how to remove these annoying little boxes?

Thanks.

Frank:
Do the following to remove the annoying cursor traces on a Cadence
cell view when using Exceed:

Under Xconfig -> Performance

1. Enable Save Unders
2. Enable Change Maximum Backing Store to Always
3. Alter Default Backing Store to When Mapped
4. Alter Minimum Backing Store to When Mapped

You have to exit Exceed for the changes to take effect.

Thank you Erik. I don't exactly know what those settings do, but the changes
you suggested fixed the problem. I will have to forward this solution to the
other Cadence users in my group.
