[Bug 1401842] Re: Two cursors on each tty console

 

After checking today I found out that the daily image allows bootable USB sticks. The bug does not occur with
- xorg version 1:7.7+7ubuntu2
- gpm version 1.20.4-6.1
However, the test setups are different.
1) The resolution of the text mode on the console in both of the above scenarios was given by the grub line
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="video=1366x768@60"
The resolution of the live version is different (default).
2)  The latter of the above scenarios used two monitors, say, M1 and M2, and the console text was duplicated on both, with two cursors on M1 and one cursor on M2. In the live version, despite two monitors being physically attached, the console text is being displayed only on M2 (with one cursor).

Title:
  Two cursors on each tty console

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Package: xorg
  Version:  1:7.7+1ubuntu8

  How to reproduce:
  1) Make sure you have X and gpm running. Observe that under X you are having just one cursor displayed.
  2) Press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to switch to tty1 console.
  3) Observe that you have two cursors on the black screen: the square one is probably from gpm and responds to mouse movements, while the arrow one is as in X, is centered, and it does not move with the mouse. The screen foto is attached.

  Expected: exactly one cursor under X, exactly one cursor on each
  console, both X and console cursors are operational.

  Any help is appreciated.
