First of all, thank you Marc for your accurate and fast answers. It all worked fine with "XCURSOR_CORE=1" and "EXPORT XCURSOR_CORE" in /etc/profile. I don't have time to recompile everything and it can be dangerous since I am using a pre-made installation (RedHat9). I don't think the nv page is very 'user friendly'. I insist on the fact that it should be documented elsewhere, in a HOWTO for example, so that anyone can easily configure this portrait trick. If there is any HOWTO or FAQ somewhere, I agree to modify it, with a "Portait display" entry. One more question : what are alpha blended cursors ? And what is shadow framebuffer ? Thank you.
