Modern X servers do not draw the mouse cursor until a program sets the cursor image. So you should be able to get the mouse on screen with: - modifying the athena application to set a cursor image - starting the X server with the -retro flag to get the old behavior with the default X cursor shown at startup (see the Xserver(1) man page for the -retro flag) - running another program that sets the cursor image, such as xsetroot -cursor_name bogosity (See /usr/include/X11/cursorfont.h for the available names or https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/x-window-system/9780937175149/ChapterD.html for pictures.) -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersm...@oracle.com Oracle Solaris Engineering - https://blogs.oracle.com/alanc _______________________________________________ xorg@lists.x.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: %(user_address)s
