** Description changed: Binary package hint: xorg It's not a bug in the sense of something present not working, it is that something that should be there just isn't. There is no way to control the cursor's size or shape. Because of another problem in resolutions, where all resolutions up to 1440x900 have the same pixel size on my notebook, so just picking a lower resolution only means a smaller area of the screen is employed, going up to 1440x900 just means a very small mouse pointer is displayed, and under mouse settings, there is no way to adjust this. There are only adjustments for touchpad sensitivity and speed, and whether pauses over the touchpad count as mouse clicks or not. To me, it seems rather obvious that the apparent mouse size should be nearly the same at any screen resolution. Maybe they thought that all monitors automatically readjust their images to cover the whole screen surface, but this Toshiba notebook seems to go by a different set of rules, and the pixel element factor seems to be central to the way it adjust resolutions. Low resolutions is shown smaller, and high resolutions are shown bigger. And if my notebook is effected, many others should be as well, since this is a Toshiba Satellite model. I think the ideal solution is to be able to either hold to a constant pixel size and change the apparent size of the image within (sort of a zoom in/zoom out approach), so that I can go to 1440x900 to cover the whole screen but then view just what I should see in a 800x600 view it that were my choice, or to stick with the other method, of setting new pixel sizes by instructions to the video card, on the basies that it will then adjust voltages and timing accordlingly. I mean the old method was great for analog monitors, but the digital approach is more to the zooming method using software. Being able to use either mode would likely suit most people.
