Hello Xorg community, The following happens for a simple GTK based application and also for a simple "-lXaw -lX11 -lXt" linked (athena) application which consists in a small button who exits the application when pressed. I use buildroot and Xorg on raspberry pi to test the app and it works fine when /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ends with: /root/athena & exec xterm -geometry 80x50+494+51 But when I remove the last line (the one with exec xterm) and call only "/root/athena" (with or without exec) when I run startx, the mouse pointer is not visible anymore. The athena application appears on the screen but I can not press the button because it is no mouse on the screen.
The /var/log/Xorg.0.log after I kill the X server in both cases is: ...
