This problem is 99.99% unlikely to be anything to do with FreeBSD - so most of you can skip the rest of this message. Chances are that the problem is the hardware cursor code failing to restore correctly under some conditions. We've seen a couple of chipsets exhibit problems either because of manufacturing variations, or because of particular combinations of resolution and refresh rate. Can you send us the Server configuration file (usually /etc/Xaccel.ini) and if you can, the Server text output. Details on how to grab these can be found at ftp://ftp.xinside.com/mailserver/debug.txt . BTW, there's also a freebsd.txt listing anything we currently know about FreeBSD, that is not in our Release Notes. In the interim, add this line to the [SCREEN] section of the Server configuration file, by hand: SoftwareCursor = Yes; // Force software cursor That should solve the problem and may be as far as you want to go... We'd like to know the graphics board configuration just in case this is a new set of conditions to exhibit the problem. Cheers, JeremyC.
