mouse cursor

[Buffalito]

I have a small problem in redhat 6.2. I get a big white square as my mouse cursor. Someone suggested setting the mouse to sw cursor instead of hw cursor in xf86config but I can't find that line in the file. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance. Buffalito

XF86Config should be in /etc/X11/.

or download x ver 4.1

This is how that part of the file looks on the system I'm on at the moment:

[code]
Section "Device"
Identifier "RIVA128"
VendorName "Unknown"
BoardName "Unknown"
Driver "nvidia"
# Uncomment following option if you see a big white block
# instead of the cursor!
#Option "SWCursor" "1"
EndSection
[code]

Your video card may be better supported by a newer version of X.

I tried that earler on and all I got was a blank screen.I tried various configurations of the xf86setup/config file but none worked. I don't think xfree86 4.01 supports the s3 trio 3d/2x cards. Whereabouts in the xf86config file will I find that line or is it different for different distros? :eek:

Your video card is supported by 4.1
http://www.xfree86.org/4.1.0/Status28.html#28

It's also supported in 4.0.1 but no point in using that.
