Speaking of X, and possibly accel-X, I've got a LeadTek S320II TNT2
based card, 32Mb. _Nice_ card.
I'm using 3.2-STABLE from just over a week ago.

The patches nVidia released for xfree work, I can run X, but there are
two minor niggles: I use olvwm and some of the open look glyphs are
not appearing properly (arrows in the background menu arn't clear
and are difficult to see) and, more annoyingly, the cursor for emacs
using an X window doesn't display properly.

Emacs symptoms: the cursor colour at some points isn't showing up.

I changed the cursor colour. It appears (normally) when the window
does not have focus (hollow rectangle) and when clicking on a position
in the window (narrow solid rectangle) but normal and with focus
(the most important time to have a cursor :/) it's inverted. With the
curosr colour changed the character the cursor is over changes colour
but the cursor is invisible over the background ...

Cursors in xterms and everything else seem to work fine ...
I've tried using different colour depths, no change.

Does accel-X support the TNT2 yet ? Anyone tried it ?
Any clues to the emacs cursor problem ?

P.
