*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 82997 *** This bug is _NOT_ a duplicate of 82997. Bug 82997 is broken hardware mouse cursor code on SiS chipsets. This bug is Radeon hardware cursor is affected by Xcursor code changes. 2 separate issues. I just noticed that you are using the GATOS drivers. Red Hat obviously does not ship GATOS drivers and is not responsible for problems encountered while using the GATOS drivers. However, the XFree86 driver which is supplied in rawhide also has this mouse cursor problem. Please however do not file bug reports against XFree86 if you're using GATOS drivers or drivers from anywhere else than what is supplied by Red Hat, unless you can reproduce it with Red Hat supplied drivers after a fresh reboot (to hardware reset the card to power on defaults). I'm leaving this open as I know our drivers also have this problem. There is a fix or workaround just about ready for testing, but of course you'll have to use the Red Hat supplied driver in order to test it. The GATOS author might be interested in it though as well if it works out, so once I'm sure it works, I will contact him too, so he can fix the GATOS driver as well. When I reported this bug, I didn't said I had an ATI Radeon video card, but a Mach64-based ATI RAGE Mobility M1 AGP... So, I don't understand why Radeon keyword has been added to the summary :-? Oops... because I'm dumb. ;o) Please attach your X server log and config file. Created attachment 89923 [details]
XF86Config
This is my XF86Config file... It's the same no matter whether I'm using the
stock XFree86 ATI Mach64 driver or the GATOS video driver (the GATOS video
driver replaces the ati_drv.o module so no changes to XFree are needed).
I can' currently supply the XFree86 server log as I have downgraded to the original XFree86 package that came with Phoebe2, and not using the one from RawHide. If you don't mind, I prefer to wait for a new release of the GATOS ATI.2 video driver (which will be released soon AFAIK) and then try to reproduce with the latest XFree86 release at the moment (RawHide). No problem. That just means this is more unlikely to get fixed for 4.3.0. ;o) I'm still experiencing this behavior with XFree86-4.2.99.901-20030203.1 using both stock ATI driver and GATOS ATI.2 (4.3.0 experimental 4) driver. I will attach my X server log. Created attachment 89925 [details]
sever log when using GATOS ATI.2 driver
Curiously, when using Rawhide's XFree86-4.2.99.901-20030205, it seems the mouse cursor visual glitch does not happen when changing from a certain cursor shape to another: for example, when changing from the standard black pointer arrow to Mozilla's new hand shape that is shown when the mouse hovers over a link, I'm unable to reproduce the visual glitch. It seems the transition is smooth and no strange artifacts are drawn on the screen (at least, I can't appreciate them). However, when the mouse shape changes between the black pointer arrow and the I-box cursor (the one that is shown when the mouse is over most text edit controls) or the window resize cursor (north-south or west-east), the visual glitch can still be seen. I'm also able to reproduce the mouse cursor visual glitch when using stock XFree86 ATI video driver. I removed the GATOS video driver, then upgraded to XFree86-4.2.99.901-20030206.0. However, I still have the mouse cursor problem,easily reproducible by forcing a mouse cursor shape transition between I-beam (or whatever you call the mouse cursor displayed on text controls) and the standard arrow. A bugfix for this has been committed to XFree86 CVS. I am updating my sources, and will be releasing a new build within 12 hours. I'm still experiencing this issue with XFree86-4.2.99.901-20030212. sorry, my build was completed in 12 hours, but didn't get anywhere public in 12 hours. XFree86-4.2.99.901-20030213.1 should fix this. It's at: ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/testing/unstable Please test and resolve bug as RAWHIDE or ASSIGNED. OK, your XFree86-4.2.99.901-20030213.1 package fixed this for me. I'm closing this bug as fixed in RawHide right now. Thanks! |
