I had the same problem with the cursor having a white square on it.
I discovered that the problem arose due to the ambiguous bug fix (the
subject of an earlier message from me) to server/ddx/mfb/mfbimage.c
If you do as I believe that bug fix suggests in FIX (but which it
contradicts in SYNOPSIS) i.e. change XYPixmap for XYBitmap in line
94 then you get the cursor problem.
I apologize in advance if I am being extremely dense but I did do just
that and got the problem so I changed it back to XYPixmap and the
problem went away.

P.S. Is patch still supposed to be used to make the changes as I have
had little success with some of the fixes recently.RWS@ZERMATT.LCS.MIT.EDU (Robert Scheifler) (10/23/87)

It does not contradict the synopsis, as I believe I stated in response
once before.

Yes, the patch is still valid as far as I'm concerned. I installed
and tested it on a 3/110 under 3.4 before releasing it, and it worked
then and it still works today. I will assume that you didn't attempt
to patch the line manually and forget to change the == to !=. Since
it works fine for me, I am at a loss to explain what your problem is.
