I followed these steps to get a big w&b cursor:
In my "normal" PC
1) Downloaded big-cursor_3.8.tar.gz from one of the many links in
http://dir.filewatcher.com/d/Debian/Other/big-cursor_3.8.tar.gz.11569.html2) Extracted with Xarchive only the file big-cursor.bdf to ~/jano/Downloads/big-cursor/
3) With terminal: bdftopcf -o ~/jano/Downloads/big-cursor/big-cursor.pcf ~/jano/Downloads/big-cursor/big--cursor.bdf
4) Compressed the big-cursor.pcf to big-cursor.pcf.gz
In my "TC PC":
5) Copied big-cursor.pcf.gz to my home directory (which is in /mnt/sdb1)
6) In /opt/bootlocal.sh added the line cp -f /mnt/sdb1/home/big-cursor.pcf.gz /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/cursor.pcf.gz
Now I got a BIG cursor (B&W, but that is a start)
