I see this as well, since at least the xserver-svga 3.3.3.1-6 version (4
June), on my Diamond Viper 550 AGP card... it's truly, truly annoying;
it may sound apocolyptic but I haven't been able to do any local work on
this system--Emacs is pretty much unusable if you can't see the cursor!
I've tried updating to each new server version, including the latest
3.3.3.1-9, but nothing helps.
There were no followups to this note; does anyone have a solution?
yep...
downloaded compiled server from ftp.xfree86.org and replaced XF86_SVGA which
came with .deb. Now it works just fine
OK
