Hello all,

I have moved over to OpenSuse from Ubuntu. I like this better, but I'm having issues with my mouse cursor.

It appears and disappears randomly as I move it around the screen, and whenever I move it over something that requires a redraw, like a "mouse over" event, I get blocky artifacts around the mouse.

I have an nVidia card and have read that the drivers are buggy and require an "HWCursor" option set to "off" in xorg.conf. I did that but it seems to have no effect on my situation (I took it a step further and explicitly set "SWCursor" to "on," but that doesn't help). Though it certainly is the driver because if I roll back to the "clean" xorg.conf file that doesn't reference the nVidia drivers I have no problem with my mouse.

Anyone know what I'm talking about? Is there a solution for this yet besides not using nVidia drivers? I guess I could just do that, but I'd like to have Compiz Fusion running at some point.

Code:
Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Device[0]"
    Driver         "nvidia"
    VendorName     "NVidia"
    BoardName      "GeForce 6600/GeForce 6600 GT"
    Screen          0
    Option         "HWCursor" "off"
    Option         "SWCursor" "on"
EndSection
