The SHAPE extension should let you have a window the shape of the cursor. Just make sure that all the cursor windows stay on top of the window stack. The 8+24 (and any other "overlay") modes have two window stacks; don't forget to put the cursors in the top layer. -- Andrew C Aitchison _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
