> 2.Pick an animated cursor
Which specific animated cursor theme are you picking? I need
to have specific details so I can reproduce this with the exact
same setup you are using.
I need to have copies of your XFree86 config file and X server log
file from using X with Xinerama disabled, and also a copy of each
file with Xinerama enabled. Please attach all 4 files as
uncompressed individual file attachments using the link below.
Also, what method are you using to pick the particular cursor theme? There are 3 different ways to change the cursor theme. About my setup: I have 3 NVidia Geforce 2 MX cards. All using the nvidia driver. I have tried the nv driver and it had the same results. To change the cursor, I am adding the following in my .Xresources file Xcursor.theme: Bluecurve Will attach files shortly... Created attachment 95671 [details]

XFree86 log with no xinerama
Same problem here on FC1. NVIDIA driver 4496 and Xinerama. I switched to TwinView instead of Xinerama, and the problem disappears. TwinView has its own issues though. The Nvidia binary drivers are not supported by Red Hat at all. The file attachments in this bug report show that Nvidia binary drivers are being used. While you've indicated that this problem also occurs when using the "nv" driver, you have not attached any information to the report with which that can be verified, or investigated. You should also note, that the "nv" driver does not support Xinerama, so if you require dualhead support you really have no option other than using the unsupported Nvidia binary drivers, and seeking technical support directly from Nvidia. You may wish to report the issue directly to XFree86.org as well if you like at http://bugs.xfree86.org where the "nv" driver maintainer can give you a more up to date official response as to future driver support plans for "nv". *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 73733 *** I'm running Gentoo Linux on another system with the exact same hardware/driver configuration. NVidia binary drivers, multiple NVidia Cards, and X 4.3.0. Cursors work just fine there. Makes me think it is not soully a driver related problem. It may or may not be a driver problem, however it is an unsupported driver, and thus an unsupported problem - unless it is reproduceable on the distribution supplied and supported drivers. You'll need to seek support for the driver from Nvidia, or XFree86.org, or debug the problem and if you indeed find the bug to be in the X server that only affects one single video driver, and is not a bug in the driver itself, feel free to supply a patch that fixes it and reopen the bug report for review for consideration in future updates. I'm currently running Redhat 9.0 with Xinerama running on an IBM ThinkPad T40, which had an ATI Radeon. This uses the built in XFree86 driver and I'm having the same issue as well. It appear that the chosen xcursor is being used, but it is being displayed in black and white, not full colour. I had same problems (no cursors in xinerama as with nv, so nvidia driver). Good news are, that in Fedora Core 2 Test2, with built in (Xorg's?)-XFree86, cursors show up properly. Also gnome font preferences now display on second monitor properly. Still - could not manage to get running nvidia's closed source drivers. Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Description of problem: When xinerama is enabled, cursors revert to a non-animated black and white cursor. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): XFree86-4.3.0-42 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Enable xinerama 2.Pick an animated cursor 3. Actual Results: After rebooting/relogin cursor appears in black and white with no animation. Expected Results: Cursor should be in color and animated. Additional info:
