To disable the cursor shadow in Linux (Xserver)

echo “Xcursor.core: 1” >> ~/.Xresources

First i tried to check the hardware accelerated by doing what you said but there wan no consol so i couldn’t sow the optput but forget it … It is my mistake .
The slow version of blender is the static one ( before and after the driver installation ) but the dynamic version is fast but with the cruser problem sp i guess like you said i have to disable the cruser shadow .
I couldn’t understand this line " echo “Xcursor.core: 1” >> ~/.Xresources " can you explan ?
Thanks .

It means you open a console or terminal to type the echo command to append (>>) the line “Xcursor.core: 1” to the file .Xresources in your home (~/) directory.

After that you should restart your X server

Correct me if i am wrong : i must copy this line as it is to terminal ( echo “Xcursor.core: 1” >> ~/.Xresources ) ?
I did that and then restrted kde and opened blender and nothing happend … The problem is still there !!

Which flavor of linux? I have used suse with nvidia GeForce4, the best way to put the drivers on is with online update, not the rpm’s or the tar ball from the nvidia site.

Anyway check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf. See if your sections look similar to the ones below. There have been several reported problems with cursors and their drivers if you do not have glx and the correct driver.

Section “Module”
Load “dbe”
Load “type1”
Load “freetype”
Load “extmod”
Load “glx”
Load “v4l”
EndSection

Section “Device”
BoardName “GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X”
BusID “1:0:0”
Driver “nvidia”
Identifier “Device[0]”
VendorName “NVidia”
EndSection

Section “DRI”
Group “video”
Mode 0660
EndSection

static version = software 3d
dynamic version = hardware-accelerated 3d if you have the drivers installed, and properly configured
