Xnewt is the default in SRSS 4.1. Xsun can still be used, it's selectable through 'utxconfig'. > So would i be able to set the default cursor with the -fc (cursor font > option)? No, that just changes the font that is used to construct glyph-based cursors. (BobD: see 'man Xserver'.) I'm still trying to figure out which cursor you want to modify. You can't change the built-in Sun Ray cursor (used to be the green newt, now a purple-and-white hourglass outline). These are only visible when the Sun Ray is not controlled by an X server. The cursors you see after the Sun Ray has been adopted by an X server are defined by the X server. You can write an X client program that can ask the X server to change the cursor for any window, including the root window. There's no guarantee that some other X client (such as the client that created the window) won't change your cursor back to something else but in practice X clients tend to define their cursors at startup and then never redefine them, so if your program changes the cursor later then your change will usually persist. Some X client programs allow you to specify a cursor that should be used in place of that program's default cursor. For example, 'xterm' lets you do this on the command line or through an X resource definition. Depending on what you're trying to achieve this might be the easiest way to proceed.
