Re: [FreeRDP-devel] Mouse pointer problem with RemoteApp

[Jean T. <bib...@gm...>]

I did more investigations and found that FreeRDP 1.1.0 is able to display
correctly the mouse pointer. For example, it displays correctly the hans
cursor of Firefox, when hovering over a link.

I also found that FreeRDP 1.1.0 needs the -DWITH_XCURSOR compilation flag
to correctly display the mouse pointer.

So I compiled FreeRDP master with -DWITH_XCURSOR but this didn't help...

I noticed the function xf_Pointer_New() that is called in xf_graphics.c
when WITH_XCURSOR is defined. Perhaps the problem comes from there?

Any help would be much appreciated...

Thanks!
