First of all hello everyone!

I hope you can help me fix this problem!

I have this problem under opensuse, arch, chakra, only cursors that works well is the old kde3 classic theme, but switching to it is not perssistent and consistent across all aplications.

Right now I have chakra installed, I had to edit this lines; adding AGP instead of PCI was a must to make X work, I have tried with the HWcursor and SWcursor options, but I don't know if I am doing it right.

Code: Select all

   Driver      "i740"
   BusID       "AGP:1:5:0"
   Option      "HWCursor" "off"      # [<bool>]
   Option      "SWCursor" "on"       # [<bool>]

My xorg.conf:

what do you think? Thanks in advance!

If you use the KDE Mouse settings to change the cursor, then it should apply to all KDE applications immediately, if not all applications - although some (non-KDE) applications may need to be restarted.
