Hallo,
I have a strange problem here.After logging onto kde everything works great with the new shadowed xfree pointers.
But when I go to terminal by pressing ctrl+alt+fn and comes back to desktop a black cross pointer "X"remains at the center of the screen.
I tried to take a screenshot of it,in the screen shot there is no such thing present. When I move the actual mouse pointer towards the cross pointer the the shadowed pointer goes under the cross such that the thing is on the uppermost layer.
I am using gentoo 1.4_rcn xfree 4.3.0_r2 kde-cvs on a Presario-700 Laptop with savage driver for xfree.
Pls help me
Anil

Each Time I login (XFCE or fluxbox), I have the same problem ! If I run xkill, then I can move this cursor, and by pressing right button, it disappear ! I still have the redhat pointer I wanted.

Can someone help me ?

I also have a laptop, with savage drivers, It might be a good start !
