There's not much that can be done without recompiling either MiNT or MGR.
The problem is that MGR uses MiNT's V:\MOUSE device to do mouse I/O,
and when this device is open mouse events aren't passed on to GEM and hence
the line A variables that most big screen emulators use for scrolling aren't
updated. The next version of MiNT will update those variables automatically.
