[ale] Funky mouse pointer

[Richard Faulkner]

Thanks Jim!

Window Manager makes sense...no reference found in xorg.conf to hardware
assist pointer that I've seen...here's what I've been using for xorg
since creating this build a year ago:



# Xorg configuration created by livna-config-display

Section "Files"
	ModulePath   "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia"
	ModulePath   "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
EndSection

Section "ServerFlags"
	Option	    "AIGLX" "on"
EndSection

Section "Device"
	Identifier  "Videocard0"
	Driver      "nvidia"
EndSection

Section "Extensions"
	Option	    "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection


My issue is a classic case of, "...everything was working fine and then
it got stupid."  The only changes that I'm aware of are from Chrome
updates - no other updates are coming for F12.  Yes, I'm also
considering upgrading to F14 but rather get my feet wet working on this
issue.  Won't learn by just reinstalling now will I?

That sounds more like window manager failure than video driver to me.
Check X conf and turn off/on hardware assist pointer and restart X.
