- Hello,
- I don't know for sure in this case, but perhaps there is a "fix" to
- this problem.
-
- in directory ..../mit/server/ddx/sun the file sunCursor.c is stuffed with:
- #ifdef FBIOGCURMAX /* has hardware cursor kernel support */
- ...
- #endif
-
- You could try to put :
- #ifdef FBIOGCURMAX /* has hardware cursor kernel support */
- #undef FBIOGCURMAX /* No he has not! */
- #endif
- just before the first #ifdef FBIOGCURMAX in that file and all special code
- using the hardware cursor would be disabled, and I beleive that would let
- you have your "big" cursor again.
-
- Naturally, this is a little gross, but if the size of the cursor is really
- important, it could be a solution.
-
- Bye,
