Screenshot, showing the mouse pointer as it should be

Description of problem:
When connecting to xrdp, mouse pointer is surrounded by a black square.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.11.0-4.fc13.i686

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Citrix ICA client 11.100 on F-13 (use --nodeps).
2. Connect to Citrix server over HTTPS (FF).
3. Open an RDP session to xrdp running on F-13.
  
Actual results:
Mouse pointer surrounded by black square.

Expected results:
This used to work under F-12, at least with Citrix client 10.6 (which if used with F-13 leaves artefacts; 10.100 had other pointer problems under F-12, see: http://forums.citrix.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1440201&#1440201). Also, it works with a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 under F-13 and Citrix client 11.100.

Additional info:
I'm attaching the screenshot, which doesn't show the problem - yeah, I know. Funnily enough, the pointer on the screenshot is the way it's supposed to be, meaning it probably is a display problem.

Apologies for proprietary software in between, but I'm forced by the environment to use it. To my knowledge, there is no free ICA clients out there.

Switching between compiz and metacity does not make any difference.

One more piece of information. When the cursor turns to hourglass, because Citrix is supposedly busy, everything is fine. I'm guessing that's because Citrix client is an app running directly on this Xorg server, not a remote one.

Fixed in xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.12.0-1.fc13, as my brief testing appears to show. Could we have this pushed to updates?
Comment 4 Bojan Smojver 2010-07-20 07:44:30 UTC 
Oh, and if it matters, I used 2.6.34.1-20.fc13.x86_64 kernel (which I guess should also go to updates soon).

One more thing, if we could have that UXA planemask patch (http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/xorg-x11-drv-intel/devel/intel-2.12-fix-uxa-planemask.patch?view=log) ported to F-13, that would be even better.

Please, file a separate bug for this with explanation what it is good for and what problem it resolves.

Thank you

Kinda seems obvious from the patch:
-------------------
planemask is an unsigned long initialised to ~0, on 64-bit this is not equal to an (unsigned int)-1.

Use the macro provided to do this.
-------------------

What problem it specifically resolves, I cannot tell you, but it seems that it may affect 64-bit archs.

Can we see this queued up as an update to F-13? I've been running it for a while now, mostly trouble free, so it would be good to see what other folks think about it.
