[comp.windows.x] Setting xterm cursor shapes in X11R3

karl@es56.UUCP (Karl Rowley) (04/08/89)

I am running X11R3 on a Sun 3/60, Sun OS 3.5, Purdue patches,
compiled with gcc.  

I would like to set my xterm cursor to something different.
How do I find out the names of the available cursors?  I know that
xfd will give me the code for each cursor, but I don't know how
to relate this to any names for the cursors.

Please copy me directly on any reply.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

Look in appendix B in the Xlib manual, or
/usr/include/X11/cursorfont.h.  The names of the cursors are just the
names given with the "XC_" removed.
