I am running X.V11R3 with fix1, fix2, and casey@ucla's three patches
installed. The problem that I am having is that the cursor can't seem to
figure out what it should be. At the root window it is the usual "X" cursor
only the white border is missing. If I bring the cursor into an xterm window
the cursor looks like the "X" cursor with a few pixels shaved off of the
sides. If I move the cursor into other windows, I get a small-arrow cursor.
I'm running on a mono-chrome DN3000 under SR10 (bsd4.3 [ha!]).

I traced it to some questionable code in $(TOP)/server/dix/dixfonts.c which the optimizer apparently breaks. Recompile this file without the optimizer and relink the server and it should run fine for you (it does for me). No, I don't know exactly what the optimizer breaks, but it probably has something to do with casting (short *) to (char *) or vice versa. See the definition of XChar2b and the routine GetGlyphs in dixfonts.c for more info. Elias Israel | "Justice, n.
