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

 

Jaakov, thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to
make Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because as per
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1401842/comments/6
the bug has been fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu -
Vivid Vervet.

This is a significant bug in Ubuntu. If you need a fix for the bug in
previous versions of Ubuntu, please perform as much as possible of the
SRU Procedure [1] to bring the need to a developer's attention.

Title:
  Two cursors on each tty console

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

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.
