#245 XFree 4.3.0: custom pointer disappears on second monitor.

[Peter Sturdza]

Hi.

I really like the speed of the 4.3.0 release. Thanks for that improvement. I had basically given up using full-screen mode before because of the slowness, but it is great now.

I did notice one obscure thing. While using Xinerama in full-screen mode, my custom root pointer is not drawn on the root window of the second monitor. This is with:
xsetroot -cursor bitmap.bm mask.bm
The default "X" cursor works fine, as does picking a named cursor with
xsetroot -cursor_name hand1
for instance.

I don't think there could be anything weird about my bitmap. It works fine on Linux using Xinerama with XFree 4.2.0 and on all of the platforms I have used without Xinerama.

I've upgraded my Linux box to XFree 4.3.0 and it works fine with regard to this cursor problem. So its looking more likely to be an XDarwin problem.

Followup from my report #788094 which has been merged as a
duplicate of this one.

The problem was also in version 4.2.1.1, although the symptoms
differ slightly.

1) In 4.2.1.1 the custom cursor DID appear but was hard against
the left-hand edge of the leftmost monitor

2) In 4.2.1.1 the problem occurred on BOTH monitors i.e. if I
moused over a desktop icon on either monitor it appeared in the
wrong place. Under 4.3.0 if I mouse over an icon on the left-hand
monitor the cursor appears correctly; if I mouse over an icon on
the right-hand monitor then the cursor vanishes completely.

Hope that helps some!
