That probably confirms it's not a gnome issue. The cursor is an X |
10 |
thing, in any case. |

That package is kind of a wrapper around the driver packages, which |
18 |
are many. You install xorg-drivers as a dependency of xorg-server, and |
19 |
depending on your VIDEO_CARDS settings in make.conf the relevant |
20 |
driver packages are also pushed as dependencies into your system. |

Let us know what your driver is so we can give more concrete details. |
29 |
But video drivers, just like any other thing that's part of X, can be |
30 |
configured at /etc/X11/xorg.conf or, more recently, in separate files |
31 |
under /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/. Some drivers (like, again, the nvidia |
32 |
binary one) do ship tools that can help you configure the driver by |
33 |
writing to these files via a GUI frontend. The concrete options that |
34 |
you can put into this files depend on the concrete driver. For |
35 |
example, the man page for my driver (xf86-video-ati) can be seen by |
36 |
using |
37 |
|
38 |
# man radeon |
39 |
|
40 |
There I can see all the available options. |
41 |
|
42 |
If you let us know what driver are you using, then maybe someone who's |
43 |
familiar with your driver can provide you with more accurate help. |
