[opensuse] openSUSE 11. and X.Org radeonhd driver
I have been trying the X.org radeonhd driver. I am currently using xorg-x11-driver-video-radeonhd-1.3.0_20091124_6387ab4-4.1.i586.rpm and, in most respects, it is working fine. Occasional screen artifacts or no 3D acceleration in vmware are things I can live with. The main problem I have is that in many apps the cursor is not working properly. Quite often it goes away or is left on the screen at an outdated position. I see this in evolution and openOffice, I am sure it is elsewhere. I am guessing the default is some sort of hardware cursor. The radeon man page says that the software cursor can be selected with: Option "SWcursor" "boolean" I am not using an xorg.conf file. I was hoping to keep it that way. But I guess I will need one to set this option. My question is, what would be the absolute minimum file I could make to get this setting used? -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
