Title: Problem Cursor v15.0
Post by: Weez on November 09, 2024, 07:36:00 AM

Help, I installed tinycore, but it gives me a problem with the cursor, for some reason, the cursor makes strange movements, when I click on a button or something, the cursor disappears and appears on another side of the screen

Which architecture are you using - x86?
Which xserver are you using - Xvesa?
Which window manager are you using - flwm?

Hi Weez
Welcome to the forum.

If it's happening when you click one of the icons along the
bottom of the screen, it's probably  flwm  moving the
cursor to the newly opened window.

If that's the case, then:

Code: [Select]

editor .profile
and change this:

Code: [Select]

export PS1 PAGER FILEMGR EDITOR MANPAGER
to this:

Code: [Select]

export PS1 PAGER FILEMGR EDITOR MANPAGER

export NOWARP=1
Click on the  Exit  (leftmost) icon.
Select  Exit to Prompt.
Click the  OK  button.

Then enter:

Code: [Select]

filetool.sh -b
startx

I don't know, I went to the tinycore page, went to the downloads section and downloaded the coreplus
I am using xvesa and openbox

When I open a window the cursor disappears and appears above the window I opened

Hi Weez
Both flwm and flwm_topside exhibit that behavior, and the
instructions I provided will stop them from moving the cursor.

I did some searching and could not find anything about
openbox moving the mouse cursor to new windows.

There is no problem anymore, I installed another window manager (fluxbox) and it no longer gives me that problem, thank you very much for the help
