Since my previous version of this message seems to have been wiped, here
goes again...
I'm having a problem, which I've had for several 4. versions of X, where when
I start up X, the cursor briefly appears in the center of the screen and
then moves to an odd position.
Details:
-- This is a new Mandrake Linux 9.0 installation.
-- I am normally starting X using startx.
-- The bad cursor position is the same every time. It's at about (650,150),
in the upper right corner, on an 800x600 screen. If I use a 1024x768 screen
instead, I still get a bad cursor position, but not in the same location as
the 800x600 one.
-- It appears to be happening in X, not in my window manager (fvwm2) or
anywhere else. If I add a sleep 15 to my .xinitrc, the cursor moves to the
wrong position before the sleep. If I start X using just "X", I get a blank
screen, no xinitrc, no window manager (the xinitrc runs the window manager),
and the cursor in the same bad position.
-- It isn't X server specific. If I change my X server to Vesa, it still
happens. (I am using a Matrox G400.)
Here's my XF86Config-4 (a stripped down test version, that still shows the
problem).
