Re: Can I hide the cursor?

The answer is no. 1) X always must always have a cursor. 2) The cursor's appearence depends on the window it is over. You can change the root window cursor with xsetroot, and if another window doesn't specify a cursor, it inherits the cursor from it's parent. If no parent all the way down to the root window has specified a cursor then that window gets the root window cursor. But if windows have specified cursors explicitly, there's nothing you can do about that. *but* if you use a libXcursor theme with every cursor icon fully transparent you can *really* get rid of the cursor, an app changing the cursors appearance just changes it to another 'invisible' cursor. I've not seen this 'technique' discussed before. -- Matthew ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
Re: Can I hide the cursor?
If you use XFree 4.3 with libxcursor, you can create a completely transparent cursor theme. -- Matthew on Wed, Aug 06, 2003 at 02:21:35PM +0800, tom wrote: I want to hide the cursor when I using touchscreen in XFree86 4.20,I found that this quesstion have been discussed three times,but no answer.Then,does this means I can't hide the cursor at all?Can xsetroot resolve this problem?I tried but faild.I just can't change the cursor with it.

Re: ATI Imageon 100
Hi; on Tue, Jul 29, 2003 at 11:04:35AM -0700, Tim Roberts wrote: The IMAGEON 100 will never be a stellar performer. It was designed for low cost and low power, not high performance. It does have a simple blitter, and it has a reasonable YUV overlay, but the motion compensation acceleration is only slightly better than straight software. I dont think were expecting 'stellar' performance here, just reasonable will do - the current situation is ~700 k/sec bandwidth in certain xrandr orientations. There is an O/S-independent (theoretically) acceleration layer for the IMAGEONs, but it is ATI-proprietary, and to my knowledge is only released to their partners. I think parts of this are exposed in the w100 framebuffer driver ( in the sharp kernels source ), though its pretty much undocumented and I dont really wanna risk boiling a 400$ lcd poking it. So please if anyone from ATI is listening, please consider to support an XFree86 driver development! Didn't we just see this movie? What's their incentive to do so? The people who are selling IMAGEON-based devices want Windows CE, and ATI is happy to help those people with CE drivers. ATI do mention on there Imageon page they support 'Linux mobile'. Just wondering where/what that is Also, I think this is a different movie. The embbeded market is different to the desktop one.
