I bought recently phantasmagoria in humble bundle and it's packed for steam windows. As I'm using linux and the game is run through dosbox I wanted to run it under my daily operating system and found some problems:
when I move the mouse the cursor position resets to the middle of screen, I recorded a video.

I tried to disable the joystick from auto to none in the config file, because it looked to me somehow like a joystick behaviour but it didn't help.

Odd. What is in the RESOURCE.CFG?

I've changed the mouse driver to NONE because the original didn't work - now I don't remember what was there originally, but it didn't change anything. Now I also tried with mouseDrv = STDMOUSE but the same results.

1videoDrv      = VESA.DRV
2soundDrv      = GENMIDI.DRV
3audioDrv      = DACBLAST.DRV
4joyDrv        = NO
5directory     = .\
6minCPU        = 486
7minDOS        = 500
8mode          = protected
9CD            = yes
10CPU           = 486
11CPUSpeed      = 63
12VideoSpeed    = 400
13CDROM         = 2
14mouseDrv      = NONE
15memoryDrv     = ARM
16language      = 1
17audioSize     = 22k
18cmd           = phcd.bat
19cd            = no
20smartdrv      = yes
21
22hires         = 630,450
23midiBuffSize5 = 30000
24midiBuffSize6 = 65000
25vmdRgb        = 35
26
27������
28 
29resaud        = .\ 
30resmap        = .\ 
31ressfx        = .\ 
32sync          = .\ 
33movieDir      = .\vmd 
34patchDir      = .\;.:\patches 
35robot         = .\;.\patches;.\robot 
36audiosize     = 63

edit. now lookin closer the driver files should be in the same directory as the game - my mouseDrv was something with 3 letters and I don't have any STDMOUSE either so this might be the case. The files I have:

10.HEP	   DACBLAST.DRV  MT32.DRV	     RESSCI.000
20.SCR	   DACMSSYS.DRV  PATCHES	     ROBOT

There is no mouse driver. The default for the cfg is "NONE". I cannot replicate your issue. I am on Windows 7, but I doubt that that would make a difference. Try "mouseDrv = STD" and changing your autolock setting.
