Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am writing to ask your advice about dealing with a large white (about
1/2" - 1 cm side length) square mouse cursor with XFree86.

The problem started when I replaced a Trident Blade 3D (intermittently
failing to start XWindows - driver messages, KB lamps flash and then
blackness), ussually on hot days) with a new S3 Trio 3D 2X.

Unfortunately the mouse cursor is now almost unusable (except for
switching between windows and obliterating typing in a white window -
when the cursor is over the window).

The details are

X version:	XFree86 3.3.6
Driver		XSVGA s3_virge
Driver date	Jan 8 2000 !
Video RAM	8 MB
FreeBSD		4.2-STABLE

The mouse works as far as clicking and moving goes but it is hard to
click links on a web page.

Thank you very much,

Yours sincerely

--

'...No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the
continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a
manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes
me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know
for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee...'
