mouse cursor and console

[pache]

Hello all!

I am currently trying gentoo on a spare partition for my iBook (G3, a couple of years old).

I am not sure this is a ppc problem, but nobody else around me has had the same problem:
while on the console, the mouse cursor tends to "erase" what's behind it when I move it.


On my current system, the mouse cursor only appears when I move it, which is fine. On the gentoo system, it stays invisible all the time, and "overwrite" characters behind it, as if the screen wasn't "refreshed"...

Since I can select and paste things though, I doubt it is a gpm problem.

Also, the console cursor works fine, and the mouse works fine in Xorg.


Two questions:

* How can I make the _mouse cursor_ visible?

* Does anyone have an idea how to fix the display problem?
Could this be a framebuffer problem?


System:
* gentoo 2004.3 for ppc
* framebuffer + gpm
* iBook (G3)
* kernel 2.6.9


I can post more details if necessary...


Thanks for your time.
