Description George Nassas 2007-12-08 17:16:53 UTC 
I believe this is new behaviour but I'm not sure when it started or why. So far as I know 6.x servers kept hidden cursors hidden even when the resolution changed.

Anyway the attached patch modifies xf86_reload_cursors to restate the shown/hidden state of the cursor as part of their work. Currently the fn makes the cursor visible regardless of the current config value for the screen.

If this is the wrong place to tweak, or an incorrect interpretation of desired behaviour, sorry.

My particular environment is X.Org X Server 1.4.0 with Intel driver 2.2.0 on debian amd64.

Looks like this should be covered by:

    xf86Cursors: xf86_reload_cursors shouldn't unconditionally show hwcursor (#14820)
    
    Also, no need to call ShowCursor when SetCursorPosition already does it
    Based on a previous patch by Maarten Maathuis
