Hi Chris!
The intel xorg driver cursor code is broken, at least on my system.
The last good commit is 3810cff42bca1badc5844002694a6f582c0f423.
Hardware: AOpen i915GMm-hfs with Pentium-M Dothan cpu
Software: openSuSE 13.1, kernel 3.14, xorg git master, kde
Expected behavior:
===============
If the mouse cursor hits a window border, it changes it appearance and stays at the same location. If the left mouse button
is depressed the window might be resized.
Current behavior:
=============
The mouse cursor hits a window border, it does not change its appearance and is relocated a few pixels instead. If the mouse
cursor is moved a bit further there is a second unexpected relocation to the opposite direction. This new behavior of the mouse cursor has been
implemented for both axes. Resizing is impossible as the mouse cursor cannot be put exactly on the window border.
After I realized that the intel driver is the cause of the problem, I bisected. During bisecting I realized that there are two cursor problems after 3810cff42, the one described above that is still present in current git HEAD and a problem with a totally distorted cursor image that already has been
solved. In the bisect log below "good" means "cursor handling completely ok", "bad" means "one or both of the cursor problems present".
