If your system boots up and enters the desktop with no curser then you are dealing with another issue. It will keep on doing that until you resolve it, unless you don't mind going into console then startx again to get the curser back (unless that still doesn't allow you to see the curser). Have you tried that bufferframe fix yet?

i tried framebufferfix under xorg and it works. but it didnt fix the mouse. is there some sorta app that will draw a new mouse? :) anyways any ideas what it might be??

oh found something out. i was able to download and install monitor setting for xorg. if i set it to 800x600 i can see the mouse. but thats not my screen size so i get to see like 1/4 of the screen. also booting in text mode, then typing startx theres still no mouse.

Again could be the RAM.

If the WM or other parts fail to start, due to lacking RAM, yes that can prevent the cursor from showing. Do you otherwise get the normal desktop? With hotkeys working?

then shouldnt the ram show that its full? it shows 10% being used. anyways, yes i get the normal desktop and everything works. i can use hotkeys, i can download and install apps etc

anyways, heres what i put in the xorg.conf:
Code: [Select]
Section "Device"
            Option  "HWCursor" "false"
            Option  "SWCursor" "true"
EndSection



and i put it in the filestool.lst.
okay reformatted and tried Xorg-7.5.tcz and it doesnt load the desktop(black screen). so far xorg 7.6 worked the best. next im trying xorg 7.4

I have noticed this issue before in my system and i'm running 2GB of memory, so its not entirely due to a lack of memory. Try to locate the error message causing this issue by going into Control Panel/System Stats/dmesg.

Hi microzee
If it's really long, attach it as a file.

Installing xf86-video-all.tcz pretty much installs all of the video drivers including your Neomagic. You are still running Xorg7.6, correct? So your screen resolution is where it should be at and your curser is there, but the color is way off.

Well, I've seen a green background display recently,  resolved that with a fresh download of Xorg.  the old copy was corrupted despite an "Ok" md5 check

hope that helps
