Re: [PLUG] Drop Shaddow Cursor w/ XFree


Ehh, GeForce2 MX? Are you using the Nvidia binary drivers? (emerge -s nvidia)

If so, they have a separate hardware cursor shadow, read Nvidia's readme for info on changing/disabling it.

To answer your question... yes, I guess Im using
xfree-drm 4.2.99.1 This was a new gentoo install. I
usually just like to do emerge kde and let it suck
down all the dependancies. I guess it did xfree
4.2.99.1 by default. Anyway, I tried all the options
that GR listed and still can't seem to get the darned
alpha blending turned off! It shows up in TWM too. Im
using a Geforce 2 MX. At this rate... I might have to
actually resort to the xfree documentation!  :-)

Cheerios, - JP

PS - Somehow I find this oddly ironic that I can't get
an advanced graphics feature, something that usually
takes some doing to get working on Linux, turned off
:-)

As per gr's post I just installed:

       Option "CursorShadow" "1"
       Option "CursorShadowAlpha" "63"
       Option "CursorShadowYOffset" "2"
       Option "CursorShadowXOffset" "4"

: into my XF86Config-4 and now I do have the alpha
shadowed cursor where
I didn't before, so by default it didn't. I use
Enlightenment. Also, I
did open a TWM session to verify that the shadow
wasn't showing up in
just E before I installed those lines out of
curiosity. I use a GeForce3
Ti-500 with the 1.0.3123 drivers.


Hope this helps.
