Re: Strange Problem with X11 mouse cursor

[Luca Micheletti <luca.micheletti@lucky.homelinux.net>]

Hi Shawn,

i have solved the problem with your suggest.

I have commented the line 

Option          "UseFBDev"              "true"

in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4

And my mouse cursor is back again ....
Thanks.
Bye.
