Re: [PLUG] Drop Shaddow Cursor w/ XFree


Yeah, I've tried every combination of "CursorShadow" options I can think of and still can't get it to turn off. The kicker was when I compiled 4.2.99.1 onto a different box the other day which only has a Viper V550 (TNT1) and the shadow still came up by default! Time to dig into some XFree docs I guess :-)

Sounds like we're mixing two different cursor features. "CursorShadow"
seems to be a driver specific option, as I've not run across it before. The new XFree86 4.3.0 alpha blended cursors are not controlled from this
option, but from Xresources or environment variables.


Here's a good rundown of the options:

I believe the Xcursor.core/XCURSOR_CORE resource should do what you
want, although I'm not entirely clear. Also, the default theme has
changed snapshot to snapshot as the 4.3 release gets closer. The
resource Xcursor.theme/XCURSOR_THEME says it uses the 'default' theme if
you don't set it. However, default was 'redglass' for early snapshots. I believe it was changed to 'core' in the last couple release candidate
snapshots. Valid options that I know of are 'redglass', 'whiteglass'
and 'core' (although 'core' is probably only in RC1 and RC2, not the
version you have in gentoo.)
