[comp.windows.x] pointer shape in xterm ?

haozhou@acsu.buffalo.edu (hao zhou) (08/20/90)

I want to change the cursor shapes in both vt102 and tek4014 modes
of xterm. I put the following two lines in my X resource file:

XTerm*VT100*pointerShape:       left_ptr
XTerm*Tek4014*pointerShape:     crosshair

The first line works fine - I got the left pointer cursor in vt102
window. However I couldn't get any other cursor shapes rather than
the default left_ptr in tektronix emulator window. 

What's the problem? Maybe Tek mode doesn't read from X resources
at all?

Another question is: how can you let xterm use some other
cursor shape which was defined by the user? 

Thank you in advance.
