If anyone finds this elusive information, please would they post it here? I can't find any sign of it anywhere. The nearest I could come is this:

However, I've not been able to make anything useful of it.
The problem is that now, having seen this most excellent animated cursor, the basic enlightenment one is more horrible than ever! However, enlightenment is still the best wm for me.

Suddenly, it popped up:

Now to work out what to do with it...

|
|
After one false start, this actually works. Watch out, though, as one attempt made the mouse pointer invisible.
I didn't write it - the link in one of my previous posts will take you to the mailing list where the author is shown.
| Code: |
#! /bin/sh
#
# A little bash script to add links for the Enlightenment default cusors
# to the 'standard'(?) names as used in the KDE Art X11 cursor themes
# for Xfree86 4.3 XCursor extension
#
# IMPORTANT
# ---------
# Use at your own risk; I take no responsibility as to the results.
# Released under BSD licence.
#
# USAGE
# -----
# download and install an X11 cursor theme.
# cd to the themes 'cursors' directory, run this script.
#
# Finding XFree86 4.3 Cursor Hashes
# ---------------------------------
# This is how I quickly found the cursor hashes- if I'm missing any (the
# Etheme I use may not use them all...) please add to this script.
# execute in a term:
# killall enlightenment
# XCURSOR_DISCOVER=true enlightenment >out.txt
# ...move mouse about, get all the cursors
# Ctrl-C
# enlightenment
# ...take a look at out.txt. You'll find two dumps & hashes/cursor.
# My limited understanding is that one is the mask (not replaced by XCursor)
# the other is the foreground bitmap- this is the hash that XCursor replaces
#
# How to make life easier with themes that include their own cursor definitions
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# This is what I did- YMMV:
# cd ~/.enlightenment
# cd themes/<your favourite theme>
# ... take a look at cursors.cfg; should include cursors/cursors.cfg
# ... assuming this is true
# cd cursors
# mv cursors.cfg cursors.cfg-orig
# touch cursors.cfg
# ... theme should now use Enlightenments built in cursors.
# ... NB- restart X- using restart from Enlightenments menu doesn't clear
# ... all it's caches, or something.

Do you run XFree86 version 4.3 ?
I couldn't get it to work before I upgraded X. |

I have the same problem, I have the same version X as you.
I'm also running gentoo under VMWare 4, with Debian host system and on a laptop. Maybe that makes a difference? |

| The problem i have is all directory the directions talk about, non of them exist on my system. If someone could tell me the full path of the directory that i need to put the cursor files in, or where i need to create a directory, i would really appreciate it. I hope this clears up my question a little bit. |

Hi,
After poking around a bit my suspicion is that Xcursor which gives you the nice mouse themes, rely on RENDER support.
Like many laptop users with an i830 card, I do not have RENDER support. This is pure crap if you take the large user base into account as well as the increasing use of RENDER in X.

These cursors kick so much butt, I've been using them for 1-2 months now (however long my first post to this thread was) and EVERYONE asks me about them - I use them on both my laptop and my desktop.
Congrats to the author for making the X11 desktop that much cooler =)

Does anyone have a definitive reason why the cursors flicker? It's been awhile now, and they flicker on both of my systems...

I rebooted and now the custom cursors are gone in Mozilla and Evolution (bot not in my window manager).
Could it be because I updated X?
Or (less likely) becuase I updated my kernel?
Do I need to re-emerge the cursors?
Thanks,
Harold |

you need to change the default E`s cursor config to a new one using native xcursors. this is mine:
