[Linux-fbdev-devel] software cursor in 2.4.x

[Ghozlane T. <gh...@sy...>]

Hi all, 

I'm working on a voodoo1 (fb driver sstfb.c ) on 2.4.17  , and 
I 'm experiencing a strange "feature" when using a dual head configuration :

The 1st head is a matrox mystique, the second one is the voodoo 1.
sstfb does not support hardware accelerated cursor (although I may be able
to hack something out of the texture engine) , and thus, it uses the software 
cursor, 
The problem is that when I remove the sstfb module, I have 2 cursors on the 
matrox : the original hardware cursor + the software cursor still alive  ...

I have to admit it's quite funny at first , having the 2 cursors blinking at 
different rates, and having  different shapes, but it gets quickly annoying.
Plus it's obviously a wrong behaviour...

So I'm wondering if I have to add some code to my driver exit function to 
remove the software cursor (if so, how?) , or if this is a bug in the actual 
2.4 console subsystem ...

Thanks in advance, 

Ghoz
