AllocARGBCursor realizes the cursor but can only do so if we have devices
there already. If we don't - then the cursor needs to be realized elsewhere.
This is usually done in InitializeSprite, but since xfixes just hard-swaps the
(realized) cursor to the InvisibleCursor, we need to manually realize it
before trying to display it.
The intended behaviour was "show as soon as someone calls
XDefineCursor". What you actually got was, uh, slightly less well
defined, since the screen's ChangeWindowAttributes hook would run after
DIX handled the cursor change. Oops.
The trivial way to turn the cursor on is:
% xsetroot -cursor_name gumby
Refer to /usr/include/X11/cursorfont.h for cursor names.
Thanks to anholt for catching this.
Yes, this means the server will start without showing a cursor. Pretty
much any application that wants to interact with the mouse will define
cursors, so this essentially just delays showing it until gdm (or
whatever) loads.
over to new system.
Need to update documentation and address some remaining vestiges of
old system such as CursorRec structure, fb "offman" structure, and
FontRec privates.
Freeing resources during client closedown can cause cursor changes which
attempt to send cursor events through the XFixes extension; a client in the
process of closing down has no file to send events to, causing a crash when
this path is hit.
bugfix: uninitialized pPointer in miPointerGetPosition ifndef MPX
adding DeviceIntPtr parameter to ScreenRec's cursor functions.
cleanup of miPointer code to use same scheme in each function
dix: MPHasCursor() function determines checking whether to invoke
cursor rendering.
animcur: adding DeviceIntPtr parameter to cursor functions but animcur relies
on the core pointer right now.
xfixes: adding DeviceIntPtr parameter to cursor functions but xfixes relies on
the core pointer right now.
rac: adding DeviceIntPtr parameter to cursor functions but RAC relies on
the core pointer right now.
ramdac: adding DeviceIntPtr parameter to cursor functions but ramdac relies on
the core pointer right now.
added SpriteRecs for MPX devices
changed sprite dependency and added MPX functionality to parts
of events.c (ConfineToShape, PostNewCursor, XineramaCheckMotion,
CheckMotion, XineramaChangeToCursor, ChangeToCursor, CheckPhysLimits,
PointerConfinedToScreen)
added DeviceIntRec param to GetSpritePosition(). This required some
minor changes in ddx, xtest, xkb and xfixes.
mi: changed miPointer to pointer instead of static struct.
Add XSERV_t, TRANS_SERVER, TRANS_REOPEN to quash warnings.
Add #include <dix-config.h> or <xorg-config.h>, as appropriate, to all
source files in the xserver/xorg tree, predicated on defines of
HAVE_{DIX,XORG}_CONFIG_H. Change all Xfont includes to
<X11/fonts/foo.h>.
