i had a problem w/ 'invisible' cursor; i used sawfish to 'reset'

[18 apr 04] This is the real reason:

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "g400"
    Driver      "mga"
    Option      "AGPMode" "4"
>>>    VideoRam 32768  <<<<<<<   this is the root of the problem

The rest is non-sense:

I had some cursors invisible; in the end it was the default cursor which was set incorrectly: What to see:

~/.Xdefaults

Xcursor.theme: Blue Xcursor.size: 100

/usr/local/share/cursors/xfree/ /usr/share/cursors/xfree/

strace -e open gcalctool

; gtk-style-cursor-info

grep for gdk_cursor_new_for_display

-> GDK_SB_H_DOUBLE_ARROW

GDK_TOP_LEFT_ARROW GDK_SB_H_DOUBLE_ARROW

/usr/X11R6/include/X11/cursorfont.h

sawfish:

(map-numbers 0 152 (lambda (i) (default-cursor (get-cursor i)) (sleep-for 1)))

Conclusion:

it seems that setting a visible default-cursor is the trick.
