 Posted: Mon Oct 14, 2002 1:33 am Post subject: Randomly shaped mouse cursor... |
 |
|
The mouse cursor when i start x - no matter which window maker i use - has an arbitrary shape. Most of the time it is just a big black rectangle, sometimes it is striped and sometimes it is totally invisible.
I've have tried changing it with "xsetroot -cursor" but no change.
I am quite new to Linux, and I don't know where to start looking for the cause of this.
Any ideas?
Except for this everyting is working.
My system:
Athlon XP
Gigabyte GA-7VRXP (Via KT333)
Matrox G550
Microsoft mouse - using the "IMPS/2"protocol

Put this in the Device section o /etc/X11/XF86Config
Option "SWCursor" "True"

Now when I have a cursor I may finally be able to use my system. 
Thanks again!
