Hello, I have a laptop with an ATI RAGE Mobility M1 AGP 8MB video card (Mach64-based) which is running Red Hat Phoebe2 beta distro (8.0.93), based on XFree86 4.2.99.901 latest snapshot (Feb, 6th 2003).
I'm experiencing hardware mouse cursor visual glitches when the mouse cursor shape is changed from, let's say, the standard black arrow pointer, to another one, for example, the north-south, or west-east resize arrow. When the mouse cursor shape is being changed, for a brief period of time, I can see a 64x64 rectangle full of garbage instead of the mouse cursor. After this brief lapse of time, the cursor returns to its normal appearance automatically. What's curious about this issue is that I can only reproduce this visual glitch when the mouse cursor changes its shape between certain images. For example, when transitioning from black arrow cursor to the hand cursor (the one shown when the cursor is over an hyperlink), the glitch can't be reproduced. If transitioning from the black arrow to any of the window-resize cursors, the visual glitch can be seen. This has started to happen with XFree86 releases of year 2003. As a side note, this is reproducible using XFree's stock ATI video driver and also with the SourceForge's GATOS project video driver (which provides XVideo support), so I think there must be something with the new mouse cursor code that is triggering this. Has anyone experienced this? Is this a know issue? I have heards of Radeon an SiS video chips having similar problems... Don't know if they are related. Thanks!
