The x probe output is below. I'm using the SVGA server with a Neomagic card.
The cursor appears as a large square with upper left hand corner at the mouse point, replacing the normal arrow symbol. I've got no other problems with the xserver. If anyone has seen this and has a fix I'd appreciate it. Thanks, --David > [x] Emailed to author [x] Sent to mailing list > > David R.
