No mouse pointer is shown under X with xorg-x11-drv-openchrome-0.2.903-5 drivers and a VIA CX700 Card. giving the command xsetroot -def partially solves the problem in that the standard pointer can now be seen (but not custom pointers from applications). xorg-x11-drv-openchrome-0.2.903-1 on the same hardware used to work.
Could you please attach the xorg log both with the working driver and the driver that exhibit the problem, together with the corresponding xorg confs ? Also, can you please try to activate the software cursor (Option "SWCursor") on the non-working driver and see if it helps or not ?
Created attachment 336259 [details] Xorg log for the working 0.2.903-1 xorg-x11-drv-openchrome version
Created attachment 336260 [details] Xorg log for the non-working 0.2.903-5 xorg-x11-drv-openchrome version Here are the two Xorg logs; it's using autodetection (on a live image) so there is no xorg.conf.
Created attachment 336261 [details] xorg.conf with SWCursor Using the xorg.conf found in the latest Xorg.log and adding the SWCursor option as in the attached file did in fact work; cursors (even custom ones) were again available.
which applications are showing the bug ? I'd like to try to reproduce.
I'm having problems with sugar and every activity under it. I'm using the Sugar on a Stick image from http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick and I've been asked to report the problem upstream.
I am seeing this on a computer with SoaS2 (F11) but not with SoaS1 (F10).
Recent versions of SoaS1 use an earlier version of xorg-x11-drv-openchrome (0.2.903-1 IIRC) instead of the one in F10 as a workaround for this bug.
I've just upgraded my Fedora 9 home server this weekend to Fedora 10 and had a couple of problems with openchrome when I booted: 1) No mouse cursor (the SWCursor option fixes this) 2) Only 640x480 was available (as in bug #488193) I was unable to find a solution to the second problem so I tried compiling the latest SRPM from Fedora 9 updates (xorg-x11-drv-openchrome-0.2.903-1.fc9.src.rpm) for Fedora 10 (giving me a xorg-x11-drv-openchrome-0.2.903-1.fc10.i386.rpm RPM). After installing this I'm enjoying the same working system I had under Fedora 9. I'm guessing this could possibly be a packaging issue (I've not looked to see if the sources or patches are different between the F9 and F10 versions yet) but could also be an upstream bug. All the same, would be nice for the Fedora 10 production version to be reliable. For now I've yum excluded openchrome updates.

Sorry, yes I should have mentioned that. I did a full Fedora 10 upgrade and update so I was using the latest 0.2.903-6 package from Fedora 10 updates and it exhibited both the problems listed above.

Created attachment 345466 [details] Xorg Log from Fedora 10 openchrome-0.2.903-6 driver Log when using the latest openchrome driver in Fedora 10 on my system (see comments for lspci output) with no xorg.conf in place. When using this driver my system displays without a cursor and also only shows 640x480 resolution.
Created attachment 345467 [details] Xorg Log from Fedora 9 openchrome-0.2.903-1 driver (compiled for Fedora 10) Log when using the latest openchrome driver in Fedora 9 on my system (see comments for lspci output) with no xorg.conf in place. When using this driver my system displays perfectly i.e. 1680x1050 resolution and showing the mouse cursor. Note, this is using the Fedora 9 RPM which I recompiled from SRPM on Fedora 10 before installing (it's not the initial Fedora 10 openchrome-0.2.903-1 release).

I'm sorry, but this log is useless to me. I need the log from the genuine 0.2.903-6.fc10 to be able to diagnose the problem.

oops, sorry. I know what's wrong. The driver thinks there is an LVDS panel attached while there's not. You can force the driver to use only the CRT with the following line in the device section of the xorg conf : Option "ActiveDevice" "CRT" I'll revert the bad commit upstream, and I'll push a new package later. I think I'll also force the driver to software cursor at the same time, at least until there's a real fix upstream.
Forcing ActiveDevice to CRT appears to correct both problems, I get a sensible resolution and I can see the mouse cursor without explicitly setting SWCursor. I've removed openchrome from my yum excludes so I'll test the 0.2.903-7 package when it's pushed, let me know if you'd like me to test the new release before you push it to updates and I'll be happy to grab it from elsewhere first. Just FYI, performance appears to be pretty much the same between the F9 0.2.903-1 package and the F10 0.2.903-6 one - as measured by gtkperf. Although performance is much better on F10 than it was in F9, presumably because of the xorg updates. I've still got all the test results if that's something you're interested in. One other thing I tried was setting the AccelMethod to EXA and MigrationHeuristic to greedy in xorg.conf. This caused X to go into a continuous loop of starting up then bombing out and I noticed the following 3 lines get repeated in dmesg: agpgart-via 0000:00:00.0: AGP 3.5 bridge agpgart-via 0000:00:00.0: putting AGP V3 device into 8x mode pci 0000:01:00.0: putting AGP V3 device into 8x mode Any other info about my system or testing you need let me know, I'm usually very happy to help out.
