I also have some vague memory of a possible option you can put in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 that might affect how the mouse displays, but it's just a vague memory, and a quick look at "man XF86Config-4" didn't help refresh my memory, so don't spend too much time on this idea; my mind might be making things up. -- Kent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
