Ricardo, maybe you have different processors etc. etc., but I'll bet you have Trident graphics ! - This phenomenon is well known. The solution is simple : You'll have to edit the file "/etc/X11/XF86Config-4" as root. In this file, there is a section called "Graphics device section". Find it and then remove the hash-mark (#) in front of "Option "sw_cursor". (Which means to "uncomment" this option, thus enabling the software-cursor). Save the file and restart X. That's all. For a more "in-depth" explanation, search the list-archive for something like "Trident Cyberblade". If still in trouble, feel free to mail me privately, I'll work you through. But please have some patience, 'cause I'm only on-line a few minutes each evening, CET. BTW - I find that sig of yours (not your name, of course) disgusting - ;-) Kaj Haulrich Denmark
