Re: Pointer Color Problems



Thanks to Brad - and the link on

http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060316124704289&query=x11

which gives you a file that replaces Xquartz - the problem is solved.

The link on macoshints.com is a tar file containing the server and following the instructions overwrites your Xserver on /usr/X11R6/bin/ Xquartz - I thing that it's prudent to back this up somewhere before dumping a new version on it.

There is also a cautionary note at the bottom of this page about speed. The available sources from Apple may not be
entirely current - it all seemed fine to me today.

Now I can live with a black pointer - but the yellow one is relatively invisible.


Is there any hope for a fix or a workaround on this one? I'll report it to Apple bugs but my success with getting bugs fixed using that route is not good.


Peter,

This is a known bug with a work-around that can be found towards the bottom of this lengthy discussion:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=393658&tstart=0


Apple is aware of the problem and the solution. Unfortunately they were not able to reproduce the problem and have so far not rolled the fix into the code base. Hopefully the fix will be in Leopard.

Best,

Brad
