Cursor on Porteus-2.0 RC1

Post#1 by Hamza » 31 Dec 2012, 14:31

Hi,

My cursor disappeared when I clicked on a link and this reproduces at each time when I'm selecting/clicking on something.

HOW TO REPRODUCE
  1. Boot into Always Fresh Mode
  2. Open your web-browser (Firefox by default in vanilla ISO)
  3. Go to your favorite website
  4. Click on a link or select a string without move the mouse cursor.
Thanks

It's the default package made by brokenman. The official Porteus-2.0 RC1 on its i486 edition.

i don't know the package, but if you want you can dowload it via slackyd for the 64 bit and try if there are differences.

I believe, there will not have a lot of difference because I think this is only a config issue which was forgotten by devs.
