From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040312 Description of problem: I went to adjust the time and after exiting the time adjustment program, for some reason the screen save flashed for a second on the screen and then the display resumed normally but with the cursors now solid black instead of having a white border around black. This has also happened everytime i leave my computer for a while and the screen saver comes on. So--it appears that the screen saver is somehow messing up the cursor in X. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-0.6.6-0.2004_03_30.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.let the screen save come on and run for a while 2.resume 3. Actual Results: the cursor is solid black Expected Results: it should be the normal appearance as when you first login. Additional info:
Sounds like an timestamp related problem WRT time going forward or backward, like XFree86 4.2.x and earlier had, where you would set the time backward and the server would lockup or do weird things, or if you set the time forward, the screensaver would kick in. Does this problem occur with FC2 with all updates still?
