I'll give you the solution someone gave me on my system. I'm using a Trident Cyberblade i/1 video card, so YMMV. Go to your XF86Config-4 file (in /etc/X11) and find the section pertaining to your video card. Within that section, add the following: Option "SWCursor" "on" What I was told is that this causes X to position the cursor, rather than the video card (which apparently gets it wrong). Naturally, restart X afterward. Paul -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
