re cursor size problems in article c ky l k compsci liverpool ac uk mbell csc liv ac uk mike bell writes apologies for those who have read this before but no one has solved this one yet so i m posting again sorry i m having problems creating a cursor bigger than x i m using motif x r running hp ux all the functions return valid results but no cursor appears when the bitmap is bigger than the aforementioned size i tried using the following code unsigned int w h xquerybestcursor xtdisplay programarea xtwindow programarea w h to return the nearest size to what i require however it returns and as the width and height respectively what am i doing wrong and if not how can i get round the problem does the workstation you re using have hardware cursor support or does the server generate a software cursor you can generally tell the difference just by using it if the cursor blinks a lot when there s screen activity it s probably a software cursor if it has a hardware cursor i think you re probably battling a bug in hp s x server i m not familiar with any hardware cursor chips that display cursors greater than x it s quite possible that the server is just echoing your preferred cursor size without actually checking it i vaguely recall that very old mit server revisions did just that in reality you re probably stuck with a x maximum size cursor regardless of what the server returns joel
