I just emerged XFree86 4.3.0 and everything works great for me except the new cursors: I use the whiteglass theme, but if I change the size of a window (KDE 3.1) the two arrows are the ones of the core theme again. And if a clock appears beside the cursor, it also gets black again. Why? :(

the file for X should be `/etc/X11/XF86Config'
That is the default, and I haven't seen a gentoo installation say otherwise, yet...

If you have a /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, then that file might be used instead.

Ok ive read through the whole list and it seems that no one has had to problem that I am experiencing..

I modified the file .Xdefaults in my home directory so that it reads
Xcursor.size: 14
Xcursor.theme: redglass

But I left the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icons/default/index.theme file so that it just says "Inherits=core"

When gdm boots up i have the typical core curosr, then when i log in with the user who I made the .Xdefaults file for the cursor changes to a small red one like i want it to.. but it only changes while gnome is starting up.. after gnome has completely loaded then my cursor gets changed BACK to the default core cursor.

Anyone know how to fix this??

Is there a way to set a global size for mouse cursors under XF86 4.3.0? I use Fluxbox and it seems as though any time the mouse moves over any Gnome program (galeon, gaim, even Eterm) it becomes the default size for whiteglass (huge). Hovering over the desktop its what I set it as in .Xdefaults. Any ideas?

You can copy /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icons/default/index.theme to ~/.icons/default and change the theme there, that's what I did and the cursors are right.

Downgrading Freetype back to 2.1.2 fixed this problem. Anyone have any idea why 2.1.3 might have had problems with certain fonts? I know specifically the fonts Clean, Console, and others were listed in most of the font selection dialogs but caused errors when chosen.

gotta put ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" in front of your emerge command since its still a masked ebuild:

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -s xfree

PostPosted: Thu Mar 27, 2003 1:54 pm    Post subject: cursor Reply with quote

Anyone having a trouple with the offset of the "busy" cursor ( the that still has an arrow ).

The busy-arrow is getting an offset, which renders the arrow unusable for pointing while in busy state! The actual "pointing point" is about 5-10 pixel to the left where the busy-arrow points!!!

Maybe its just my cursor files.

Any ideas?

I saw this sort of behaviour in GTK applications like Phoenix-bin; while it was showing a busy-arrow, I would amuse myself by dragging the mouse in and out of the web browser window and watching the cursor get displaced... (ok, I'm easily amused)... it was a bit difficult to click on things correctly when this was happening, I had to watch the button highlights to figure out when I could click on something...

I have not seen this problem using KDE 3.1.1/QT3.1.2 -- or for that matter, with my GTK2 applications.

Could this be a GTK-1.2/XFree-4.3 bug?

Einstein : since rc2, the cursors directory moved to /usr/share/cursors/xfree/

I was having problem similar to this. I'd set my cursor as something, but it would default back to the one I was using previously.. or, it would only switch to the new one when resizing windows.

Quick hack of a fix: Rename the dir of the cursor theme you were previously using to something else. Thats the only way I've gotten cursors to work properly. And this counts for every time you use a new theme. I've checked out several new cursor themes since I did that and by renaming the previous theme folder, its worked fine.

Lurid: what you said suggest that your new theme was not complete (icon change to other theme for rezising window)... I had similar trouble when I was trying new (and unfortunately sometimes incomplete theme). Be sure to test with complete theme like WhiteGlass or Gentoo-Silver - my favorites ;) - to see if trouble elsewhere.

For cursors in gdm : set up in /usr/share/cursors/xfree/default/index.theme
To set up for my login : ~/.icons/default/index.theme

An happy Xfree-4.3.0 user ;)

It was specifically the two cursor themes you mentioned that I was using. ;) The problem is some where in my system/xfree, not in the cursors. But as I said, making the previous theme unavalible (renaming it) makes the new cursor theme kick in fine.

This is a problem introduced in XFree 4.3.0-r2. XFree 4.3.0-r1 and earlier work fine with this (but have other problems). I'm not sure how to fix this, but I think somewhere on this forum someone found a fix, I'm just too busy to look for it.
