My research group just got several Intel Macs to replace our Linux
desktops. When setting them up we have run into this issue:
<http://lists.apple.com/archives/x11-users/2006/Mar/msg00061.html>
Namely, whenever we display a remote application from some x86 Linux
machines (Ubuntu 6.06, RHEL3 or FC3), either using SSH forwarding or
NX, the mouse cursor is either yellow or white when it should be
black. This has the effect of making most applications unusable.
I have tried using Fink and MacPorts versions of XFree86 4.5 and
X.org 6.8, but neither of them fix this problem. I've also tried
running Apple's X11 in Rosetta (since X11 runs another copy of
itself, I used lipo to strip the x86 portion of the binary), but
either I'm not capturing the right component, or it doesn't help.
I looked at compiling X.org 7.1 but I couldn't find any success (or
failure!) stories, and it looks like it would take me a while just to
get my head around the new build system - I never thought I'd be
wishing for Imake again, but at least the XFree86 system was easier
to get going...
Has anyone found and fixed this problem yet, or know of a workaround?
Thanks,
