Description of problem: It appears that when an application registers its own mouse pointer for specific windows, and the mouse pointer (is supposed to) change to a nonstandard pattern, the pointer looks like a random, vertical stripe-y square about 100 pixels in dimension. It changes back to a normal pointer when the focus point moves out of the affected window. This occurs with applications like chromium (game), noteedit, and ardour, probably more. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): All x versions of FC2, including latest as of 11/7. How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start application (eg chromium) 2. Observe hosed mouse pointer. 3. continue using program. Actual results: Mouse pointer appears as random, vertical stripes. Expected results: Mouse pointer should be application-specific shape. Additional info: HP Vectra, Matrox G450 video, IBM P260 display. Appears to happen at all screen resolutions. Same applications do not cause this behavior in FC1, identical hardware.

Try adding the following to your X server config file in the video card Device section: Option "swcursor" Then quit X, and restart it. Does this change the problem at all in any way?
I added this line with no discernable effect. (I added the line to the section marked Section "Device" with Identifier "Videocard0").
