Bug#253280: gtk2-engines-industrial: problems with new xcursors default
Le vendredi 14 janvier 2005 à 11:32 +, ROBERTOJIMENOCA a écrit : Is it also true of alpha cursors? I think they are displayed using the RENDER extension, not the hardware cursor mechanism. sis, ati and nv xfree86 drivers support ARGB HW cursors And others use the RENDER extension, what's the problem with it? I also prefer the pretty cursors but it's more important for me using the hardware accelerated cursor. Maybe a good default would be to always use HW cursor and if there's no support for ARGB cursor use the not alpha cursors. Would you default to that? There's no way we can detect that. This is a bug in XFree86, and it should be fixed, full stop. This is not something that can be worked around easily. If you want to see this fixed, please help fixing the broken driver of your graphics card. -- .''`.

Since it's not double buffered. It blinks. I prefer a normal cursor not blinking than a ultra-fashion cursor that blinks when something is bellow it. I also prefer the pretty cursors but it's more important for me using the hardware accelerated cursor. Maybe a good default would be to always use HW cursor and if there's no support for ARGB cursor use the not alpha cursors. Would you default to that? There's no way we can detect that. This is a bug in XFree86, and it should be fixed, full stop. What's the bug? The card not having support ARGB cursors at all? (this one cannot be fixed) or blinking when using a RENDER extension cursor? (this one could be fixed but I still prefer having a hardware cursor since it's faster and causes less trouble) This is not something that can be worked around easily. If you want to see this fixed, please help fixing the broken driver of your graphics card. Could you explain what you say needs to be fixed? (I think you mean the missing support for ARGB HW cursors, but I'm not sure)

(this one could be fixed but I still prefer having a hardware cursor since it's faster and causes less trouble) The bug is that there are 2 cursors displayed. The current workaround is to disable the ARGB cursor theme with update-alternatives, and there's nothing more that can be done. Don't count on me to change the priority of the alternative when this or that stuff is found in the hardware. -- .''`.
