From: Joel Moots To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Content-Type: text/plain Message-Id: <1073848357.7868.13.camel@moots> Mime-Version: 1.0 Date: Sun, 11 Jan 2004 19:12:00 -0000 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-SW-Source: 2004-01/txt/msg00213.txt.bz2 List-Id: I use XWin and XDM to connect to an HP-UX box for work, after connecting remotely to a Windows Terminal Server. The mouse cursor over an X window has always moved rather slowly/jerkily, which is expected. However, the other day, due to some fluke interaction between Windows and X, the Windows mouse pointer was also appearing while I was in an X window. I *loved* this, as I knew exactly where my X pointer would wind up without having to wait for it. Anyway, I cannot repeat this behavior at will, even if I do not use the -lesspointer option to XWin. Is there an easy way to always enable the Windows pointer (or rather not to disable it) without having to modify/compile XWin myself? I searched the mailing lists but the threads generally seem to be about the subject of how to disable this behavior.. TIA, -joel
