Re: Lost cursor in X
You would not believe this !!!
I was banging my head with my Matrox G400 board and XFree86 4.1 and with a
great help from other guys I had a visible screen but the cursor started
jumping everywhere on the screen as soon as I touched it for the first time
....
Your Option "sw_cursor" fixed this !!!
Unbelievable !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you.
Ciao. Bob
