I just replaced my cgthree (color) card with a cgsix (GX) card in my SPARC. Now the standard cursor aninmation that comes with "xancur" only displays the upper left quadrant when the cursor is in the root window. Anybody seen this? Anybody have a fix?

The GX, unlike the CG3, uses a hardware cursor. It is limited to 16x16-sized cursors, sorry. There is no "fix". I was disappointed to find this out as well; I liked my Public Enemy gunsight logo cursor on my 2 GS at work, but when I had a 1+ GX at home for awhile, I couldn't use it. I now have a SPARCstation-1 clone with a CG3 and I can use it again ... -- - Greg Earle | Disclaimer: These are MY Itinerant Sun Consultant | opinions only, not JPL's! isolar!earle@elroy.JPL.NASA.GOV | They just let me post through (818) 353-8695 | their machines ...

Hello,
I don't know for sure in this case, but perhaps there is a "fix" to
this problem.
in directory ..../mit/server/ddx/sun the file sunCursor.c is stuffed with:
#ifdef FBIOGCURMAX /* has hardware cursor kernel support */
...
#endif
You could try to put :
#ifdef FBIOGCURMAX /* has hardware cursor kernel support */
#undef FBIOGCURMAX /* No he has not! */
#endif
just before the first #ifdef FBIOGCURMAX in that file and all special code
using the hardware cursor would be disabled, and I beleive that would let
you have your "big" cursor again.
Naturally, this is a little gross, but if the size of the cursor is really
important, it could be a solution.
Bye,
