Hi List,

I'm currently running the Sparc version of Fedora 12 on a Sunblade 2500 with XVR100 graphics card.  I'm currently using gnome/compiz-fusion for my desktop.  I compiled the 1.7.1 version of rdesktop for my OS.  If I don't set "SWCursor" in my xorg.conf file, my cursor is big square, but works normally in the desktop and on an rdesktop session.  To get the normal cursor to work, I need to add the "SWCursor" setting.  With this setting, the desktop is fine, and everything works well except rdesktop.  Whenever I move the mouse into the rdesktop session, the cursor turns to a bunch of horizontal lines, and garbles the screen.  If ssh to the machine from my pc (windows xp), and then run rdesktop, it works fine?

Thanks for any help.
