I think some games just turn off the mouse cursor and somehow count
mouse-movement interrupts.  The cursor often ends up on one edge of
the screen.

Dimmer, which samples the mouse coordinates, will blank the screen
when the cursor is in the upper left-hand corner.  Often, during these
games, my screen blanks at the most critical time!

I suggest you try to solve the problem in a "Dimmer-compatible" way.
