No problem. I'll actually be surprised if this fixes your problem, because this kind
of bug would typically kill everyone regardless of platform.
Still, it's maybe worth checking...

Hi guys,
I've got Mandrake 9.1 installed, and it's time for me to replace the
installed version of xf86 4.3, with a newer build from xf86's CVS tree.
I had some trouble with the process, so could someone familiar with
Mandrake 9.1 verify that I'm doing it right?

FWIW, I was having screen resolutions on my laptop, and it turned out to
be my fault. Somewhere I'd gotten the idea that my laptop's LCD

Just something worth double checking, imho.

I've never tried this, but perhaps you could replaces all of the mouse
cursor sprites with all-transparent sprites?
I suspect this would give you the effect you're seeking.
