Catalyst: Mouse Pointer looks weird on one monitor

Hi, i just installed a fresh Arch system (2.6.35-ARCH) and I'm using Xorg (1.9.0) together with the AUR-package "catalyst-test". Now when i start up a desktop environment (i tryd twm and openbox), my mouse pointer looks weird on my right monitor but normal on my left, which is my primary.
Right Monitor (the square on the left is my mouse pointer)
When i tryd to make a screenshot of the problem the image just showed me the mouse pointer as its supposed to be, so i had to make this picture with a camera. The mouse pointer is fully functional just its look is broken. I never had this bug before when using the same hardware together with Arch. When I changed my xorg.conf so that my right monitor is the primary one, the mouse pointer looks weird on the left but is okay on the right.
xorg.conf:

Catalyst-test is compatible with xorg-server 1.9, otherwise there would be just a blank screen ...
I'll keep that in mind, thanx for your helpul comment.

  • Change Mouse Pointer Look

    Hi,
    I have a show/hide layers behavior setup on an image - when
    the image is clicked. It works just fine. However, when you hover
    the mouse over the image, the mouse pointer doesn't change to the
    hand, like it would with a link. Is there any way to get the mouse
    pointer to change to the hand when it is hovering over the image?
    Thanks,
    Lynn

    Open the page in DW. Select the image and look at the
    behaviors panel.
    Change the Event from onClick to <A> onClick, using the
    drop-down list of
    events in the behaviors panel.

  • Mouse pointer does not move between monitors

    my mouse pointer does not move between displays all of a sudden !

    ok, I am using magic mouse, mac mini with two displays,
    was working fine, but now when I started the computer recently it does not want to move the mouse to the other screen.
    the other screen is open but it is not possible to move anything over to it !!
    tried to restart reset the display settings etc. but no luck !!

  • My mouse pointer is stuck on one screen of a dual monitor set up.

    I recently did a fresh install of lion on my mac, the dual monitors were working on Snow Leopard, but no longer.
    Whilst I can see both screens, I cannot move my mouse from one to the other.  Nor can I drag windows across the screens.
    Help!
    Mark

    have you tried all the edges? you may need to reconfigure your monitors arrangement. to do so go to system preferences displays and then choose arrangement. Then you'll be able to see how the computer thinks you have them and adjust it to the way you want them. Make sure you dont have mirroring on as well (being thorough).
    Hope this helps you.

  • Are there settings on Adobe elements 8 for how your mouse pointer looks?

    I am using Windows 7 and have 3 pointers for my mouse icon on elements 8 and cannot figure out how to get rid of the extra 2. I cannot do much of anything with the program.

    You probably need to set the dpi scaling as per the directions here:
    (even though it mentions the organizer the same fix works for the triple cursor)

  • Can I control the mouse pointer?

    I would like to know is there any classes in the API that I can control the mouse pointer(cursor) like the one that is done in JavaScript? I couldn't find anything about it. In MouseEvent, the only thing that I found was getX() and getY() that will not assign the location to the current cursor. Since I need to do a First Person View mode stuff, I need to use mouse to pan and this is very important, thank you for all your repies.

    I've never used it, but it appears the Robot class is what you are looking for.

  • How to stop mouse pointer from being included on screenshots

    Hey guys I was hoping someone could help me with this problem.
    I am creating a software simulation and have decided to use Captivate 6.  When capturing the appropriate screenshots i have noticed that the mouse pointer is being included with these. I DO NOT want the mouse pointer to be included within the screenshot.
    I know how to disable the mouse pointer when setting my preferences before creaing the simulation, however, the mouse pointer is still being included in the screenshots. Here is an example below.. Can anyone help me?
    Thanks,
    Garrett
    Example: I orginally wanted to show the user's log in menu, but once I clicked "Login" the mouse pointer stuck to the screenshot. I don't want this mouse pointer to be there

    I actually chose Demo and assessment.  The mouse is not what I want to see in the slides. The timeline does not show a mouse at all because I have that functionality disabled. What I really want is to essentially replicate an application. I want the user to be able to start this captivate project from a flash drive and actually have the applications GUI with limited functionality (for training purposes). I am starting to think there is a problem with the application I am trying to replicate. I have a software product that I must start on a virtual machine. Once the virtual machine is up and running then can I actually start the application. I have already done two of these with different applications and had no problem at all with the mouse pointer disappearing. This one, however, is being very difficult. Maybe its because im using QNX?

  • Mouse pointer is unchangeable at 100% scaling in multi monitor setup with different resolutions

    Hi there, I have been asked by one of the moderators of the Windows 8.1 forums to post this topic here.  You can see the thread relating to this post here
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-tms/cant-change-the-cursor-pointer/ae8ad8a0-3ded-4810-a3be-794f6c4830a4?msgId=2bd7082f-f5d1-4b01-8c70-e0d2a754d66f&page=1<o:p></o:p>
    The problem:  The mouse pointer becomes unchangeable in size, type, trails etc when 100% scaling is used.  As in it reverts to the standard small white non-inverted, no trails,
    no shadow 'pointer', no matter what options you select in the 'Mouse' control panel settings.<o:p></o:p>
    This appears to be a scaling problem with the Windows 8/8.1 display, not an actual mouse problem.  Judging by my own and other peoples experience it seems to happen mainly with multi
    monitor setups where different screen resolutions are used.  The issue occurs typically when 100% scaling for all monitors is used or this option is un-ticked and the 'change the size of all items' is on smallest (equivalent to 100%).  <o:p></o:p>
    If the scaling is set to 150% or greater the issue disappears and the mouse pointer becomes fully functional.  Also bizarrely when the scaling is set to 100% if the screen is recorded
    using a screen capture program, the recording of the screen shows the mouse pointer selected in the mouse options and not the default small white cursor that is present when recording it.  Here is a link to a video where I explain and show the problem
    happening on my system.  http://youtu.be/xs2cxoeaq-A<o:p></o:p>
    I have every update installed without exception, latest drivers etc.  I use a 55" 4k screen with 2x1080p monitors in portrait on either side.  All are connected through 1 Nvidia
    GTX 780 6GB graphics card<o:p></o:p>
    Hope you can help us<o:p></o:p>
    thanks<o:p></o:p>
    Jon M<o:p></o:p>

    Hi Jon,
    I'm looking into this issue but it will take me some time to provide a reply. 
    In the meantime I noticed that you have 3 monitors with 1x 55' and 2x27' - please have a try to only connect 1x27' monitor and see if issue persists.
    Also please try to change the screen resolution to a lower size and see if issue persists. 
    Both suggestions are not solution, I just would like to know if it is related to multiple monitor or screen resolution. 
    If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

  • W530, W7-64: external monitor is dark except for mouse pointer

    Hello,
    I'm starting to experience this problem. Initially I had no problems with using an external monitor, but now I cannot use it. When I switch to the external monitor, the screen is dark, except for the mouse pointer which moves correctly.. Anyone know the cause of this problem?
    Regards,
    bostjanv

    I have had same problems using NVIDA Q2000K when using Windows 8.  Try configuring with NVIDA instructions for multiple displays as follows: 
     ThinkPad W530       NVIDIA Quadro K1000M or NVIDIA Quadro K2000M           - Computer's analog VGA connector           - Docking Station's analog VGA connector           - Computer's DisplayPort connector           - Docking Station's DVI connector(s) or DisplayPort connector(s)
          Intel HD Graphics Family           - (Computer's LCD)
    DUAL ADAPTER CLONE
      Dual Adapter Clone is a technology where display output from one display   adapter is cloned to another display adapter. This feature is unique for   NVIDIA Optimus Technology starting from second generation Optimus technology.   The only difference between cross adapter clone and traditional clone is that   the former involves two display adapters while the latter involves only one.
    HOW TO CONFIGURE DUAL ADAPTER CLONE
      Dual Adapter Clone is only supported and be configured in NVIDIA Control Panel.   As an example, the procedure below describes the steps on how to configure the   dual adapter clone. Remember that the dual adapter clone involves two   different graphics devices, so the 'Display Topology' section above will give   you an idea which combinations can support dual adapter clone, otherwise, it   is considered as a traditional clone.
      The procedure below assumes to use the LCD and DisplayPort monitor connected   to the computer.   1. Attach a DisplayPort monitor to the computer.   2. Open the NVIDIA Control Panel, and on the left pane, select 'Setup multiple      displays' under 'Display' tree.   3. On the right panel, under 'Select the display you want to use', check both      LCD and DisplayPort monitor.   4. Under 'Verify your display configuration', right click on either the LCD or      DisplayPort display icon.   5. Select 'Duplicate with 1 (use 2 as source)' then click Apply.
      Note: The Dual Adapter Clone can not be enabled by using the Windows display         control panel or the Intel's display control panel.
    Windows 8 also disabled my NVIDA Q2000K and I had to restore it.  I hope this was helpful.

  • Can I change the look of the mouse pointer?

    I was wondering if it’s possible to change the look/style of the mouse pointer just like you can in Windows?

    Unsanity's Mighty Mouse is the only one I know of that can.
    They also have this page of cursors they've already made you can use with the program.

  • Weird mouse pointer behaviour

    Since this morning OSX won't register the position of my mouse pointer. All the hover triggered events (link highlights, Expose Hot Corners) won't work. OnClick events do work correctly, but it is kind of annoying not being able to use hot corners.
    Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Something is up with the 10.5.6 update. Bluetooth mice pointer is erratic, but buttons all work fine. Mouse is fine (Great: ROCKETFISH) on all other Macs. Mail.app, SyncServer and other non desrcript and arcane named processes are sucking the goodness out my MacBook 2.16 Mid 2007. Fans are going much more than it ever did...battery is being drained by processes I never evoke. Crashes from BAD_ACCESS plagued me on 10.4.11 so I took the plunge....bought Leopard....and spent days trouble shooting all the messes it casued...had to search for Mail.app update....never showed up in the software updater process....that is not acceptable....I have bought new hard drives, thinking it was a faulty drive...not enough free space.....nope. Spotlight was eratic at one point. I run Disk Utility and ONyx regularly and often the permissions are wrong on a big scale....run it again and the same ones are wrong again....run it off the Installer Disk....Get everything apparently tickety boo....then the Bad Access thing reals its ugly head again....I am tired of being a beta tester...this is not my bling thing toy...it is my living and I spend more time doing trouble shooting than work....Genius guys are a misnomer....Apple is starting to drop from the top of the tree and is looking rather fetid mixed with the compositing leaves....enough CRAPPLE give me the good Mac stuff once again....System/Finder 3.7 wasn't this bad. Who needs a million bells and whistles if you can't the 'trailer hitch' to work? Tech tool shows all is well.

  • T43p - Mouse pointer freezes after changing the battery to a new one

    Hello,
    I have bought a new battery for my IBM Thinkpad T43p. In the description of the new battery I have seen that this battery is compatible with T43 series. Battery details are: DC 10.8V 5200mAh/56Wh. Replace: 08K8214.
    My problem is:
    I have ordered a new battery for my Thinkpad T43p but when I turned off  the notebook and replace the old battery with the new one the notebook became strange. I use Windows XP Prof on this computer and when the login screen appeared and during I was typing my user name and password the mouse pointer was freezed and I had to turn off the computer. It was happened within approx 1 minute after the Login screen appeared. The symptom was the same with or without plugged in AC charger. I have tried several times and the same behavior was happened. When I changed back the old battery the computer became normal again without any freezing. The fan was working properly in both cases. The symptom is the same if I change the battery during AC charging and using Windows. 
    I don't have an idea about the reason of it. Can you help me with ideas?
    Thanks in advance,
    Slider

    Pull the battery out and run the machine on AC only. Does it freeze now?
    If it doesn't, the "new" battery needs to be replaced.
    Good luck.
    Cheers,

  • Ati HD5770 - catalyst 10.x - no mouse pointer at all :|

    hallo.
    i (was) using the old_xorg repo with the catalyst drivers. My hd5770 used to work pretty fine. Yesterday i did a pacman -Syu.
    Since then, my mouse pointer disappeared (in Xorg.N.log there are no evidence of this). I tryed to start X without an actual WM/DM and the mouse pointer is still missing. This makes me suppose i have some glitch with xorg or ati drivers.
    Does anyone incurred in this? Is it solvable?
    I tryed to update xorg to a newer version (commenting hte xorg_old repo), but now i get nothing (X crashes).
    Is there a way to remove X and all its libraries and start from a fresh point using the right xorg/driver version?
    I'm using arch64.
    Thanks!

  • Spinning ball and mouse pointer icons look really low res!

    Why do the spinning ball and mouse pointer on my 24" look graphically low res?
    I know it's only a minot point but it kind of spoils the beautiful look of the screen.
    Tc

    Go to System Preferences/Universal Access/Mouse. Toward the bottom of the Mouse pane is the slider for the cursor size set to normal?
