Hello there,

it seems like there is a problem with the latest nvidia drivers. I am using a custom animated theme for my cursors in Xfree 4.3.0 (Silver, gold, BlueGlass for those that know it) and my cursor keeps blinking.

It blinks for about 5 seconds, then remains stable for 20 seconds or so.

I am almost sure it is coming from nvidia drivers because I did not notice such a problem with 4191 drivers, nor with NV Xfree driver (I tried it to be sure).

Any idea please? I am wondering if this may be related to the new features included in nvidia driver when it comes to shadow pointers...

SOLVED:
add this option to your XF86Config file under the section "device"

Option "HWCursor" "False"

It disables hardware rendering of the cursor from nvidia drivers and in the same way, it stops the blinking.
