This may be a bug, but I have a problem with my mouse pointer `disappearing' whevever the screen refreshes. Just in case someone has an idea or a solution, here's what I have: AthlonXP 2200+ on an ASUS A7N266 mobo, 512MB RAM, old Sony monitor (es100, I think), integrated nvidia GeForce2, IBM PS/2 Optical wheelmouse (same behavior found with a generic two-button and with a MS Intellimouse). Environment is: RH9, Ximian Desktop 2. (Same behavior with the default Gnome desktop). Here's the behavior: If I use an image for the background, the mouse disappears right after logging in, or whenever I change the background. This is helped slightly if I choose the `tile' option; then the mouse pointer disappears less frequently, but it still does so (for example, running Mozilla full-screen, close it, pointer disappears). I also will get a half-disappeared pointer while browsing, when clicking on a link; it's as though the link is being redrawn over-top of the pointer image, and the pointer is not redrawn afterward. To make the pointer reappear, I usually have to somehow open some type of dialog box or application, and wave the pointer until it passes over the edge of the window or a button or some other widget; I'm guessing that when the mouse does this, something explicitly tells Gnome or Nautilus (or whatever is redrawing the screen-image) to refresh the pointer. Like I said, this may be more of an actual bug in gnome or nautilus, though I have never experienced it when installing on my old PC. It's definitely annoying. I'll probably talk to some people in #bugs or #gnome on irc.gnome.org, and if they help me solve it, I'll certainly post it here. Any help is appreciated; Thanks, Phil _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
