Curious cursor effect with gtkam
When trying to use gtkam I found the cursor disappeared and I had to
either exit X altogether or revert to the console and then go back to X
before it would appear again.
After some fiddling I found that the problem was in
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4, where the mouse device was given as /dev/mouse.
This is a symlink to /dev/ttyS1. I changed the entry to /dev/ttyS1 and
the problem went away.
I thought this might be of interest to anyone who has encountered the
same effect.
