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

 

Thank you. However, I won't upload the tested fixed xorg package, since 
the tested setup, as of 2015-05-06, has other user-interface bugs that 
can affect me more than this two-cursors problem.

Namely, in the development version, the menu of the window manager 
(lightdm?), which is usually found in the upper right corner, appears 
thrice: once on the small monitor (upper right) and twice on the large 
one (at about 70% land 100% length in the header). I expect it to appear 
once or twice, however, depending on whether the screen contents is 
extended or cloned. So suggesting the xorg-packages from that particular 
date has a chance of making the situation worse for me. Once that other 
problem is fixed, I can reconsider this decision.

By the way, what is the correct kernel-command-line argument for not 
starting X at boot in trusty or vivid?

pfix=nox

doesn't work.

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.
