well can't really tell - so the cursor doesn't change back if you move the mouse over an app window? what if you run xsetroot (this should reset the cursor to an "X") or restart enlightenment? (try both)? if it doesnt get fixed here its DEFINITELY a driver/hw bug (100%). if it fixes it - i still stand by what i said in that i cant see how e could cause this as it doesnt play with the cursor except at start. after that it doesnt try change it -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) [EMAIL PROTECTED] 裸好多 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tokyo, Japan (東京 日本) ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
