Thanks for this. I can't quite match it up to my situation though. I did find that macosxhints article, but it seemed to refer to apple's X11 version, and to windows from remote servers, neither of which apply. I am trying to build fink's xorg package, which builds XDarwin, not Xquartz. The source doesn't have any quartz-cursor.c under xc/programs/hw, instead there is > find . -name quartzCursor.c ./darwin/quartz/cr/quartzCursor.c ./darwin/quartz/fullscreen/quartzCursor.c ./darwin/quartz/quartzCursor.c with rather different contents. I didn't try going back to the Tiger X11 yet - because all my 10.4 debs are compiled against fink's xorg, so I'll have to recompile everything. I figured if Tiger's X11 worked, so would fink's xorg. And it did for ppc. I only just got this intel machine + Leopard. I kept my other intel machines on Tiger (and they don't run X anyway, they are headless and used for computational stuff). So all my Leopard testing was with ppc, I didn't anticipate this sort of difference with intel :( -- Viv ------------------------------------------------ Dr Viv Kendon http://quantum.leeds.ac.uk/~viv Quantum Information Physics & Astronomy University of Leeds ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
