Probably a driver bug that has been fixed in newer versions of XFree86 (yours is pretty old). You can probably get a usable pointer with your current server anyhow by adding: Option "SWCursor" to the Section "Device" of the XF86Config file. That will disable the obviously broken hardware cursor support. Mark. On Thu, 8 Apr 2004, Alec Englebert wrote: > Hello > Total Linux newbie here, so plz be patient with me.

Thus far, everything is working and the mouse/pointer tracking and clicking are working great, however, instead of a pointer, all I have is a big white block about 1" by 1" square. Am I missing something as far as configuring a pointer is concerned? Or is this a video card issue? Any hints on how to resolve this?
