Re: GDM puts a semi-persistent "X" in the middle of the screen.

[yo mero <debianier@gmail.com>]

the problem is the hardware cursor enabled

this is the setting on my  XF86Config-4


Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Generic Video Card"
        Driver          "savage"
        Option          "SWCursor"              "on"
        Option          "HWCursor"              "off"
EndSection


all solved
