I also have a T23 laptop with S3 SuperSavage IX/C, and I can confirm this bug. When the cursor changes from a monochrome one to a colourful one, the monochrome one doesn't go away. The easiest way to trigger that is to move around a window in metacity, as gtk2-engines-industrial has (or used to have) a monochrome "plus" cursor, while others are ARGB.
Now the interesting bit: this bug does not appear in X.org 6.8.2. I assume it got fixed, so it's just a matter of finding and backporting the right patch. I first saw this bug in the middle of January 2005, when I switched from Debian unstable to Ubuntu Warty. I upgraded to Hoary (which had X.org) after a few days, and the bug disappeared. I never saw this bug in Debian, but it is entirely possible that I had disabled hardware cursor in my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 ages ago, and then forgotten all about it. HTH, Marius Gedminas -- I have yet to see any problem, however complicated, which, when you looked at it in the right way, did not become still more complicated. -- Poul Anderson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
