Flickering mouse cursor.

Hi, im new to arch and not really used to trudging through ice (which is why i fell in love with arch). I'm not sure if the problem is causd by xorg or kde but my mouse flickers and sometimes completeley disappears when i'm hovering over a button in any application and when i right click, and reappears again when i move the mouse. Please help..:)

Hey thanks for the quick replies, but i have another problem. when i do X -configure, i get this:  X: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/xgixp_drv.so: undefined symbol: Loader Req Sym Lists
According to this -- https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=116869 -- i tried reinstalling xf86-video-xgixp but it doesn't work, i.e, outputs the same error.
Since i cannot create xorg.conf, i cant control anything. Help!

  • [arch-based] Flickering mouse cursor

    Hi guys. I'm not sure it's the right section to write in.
    The issue is this one: it often happens that mouse cursor starts suddenly extremely lagging, even if the CPU consumption is not that high. It flickers, sometimes stuck in a screen position, keeping there for a while, and moving jerky.
    I need some help, even only for some logs to look at.
    Looking forward for an help.

    Rome, can you please clarify that part of your title?  Are you using archlinux or a derivative distro?  Posting the output of the following would be helpful:
    uname -a
    mod note: Moving to newbie corner (for now).

  • Flickering mouse cursor/black bar on iMac 27"

    I recently bought a refurb 27" iMac (mid-2010) and did a DIY upgrade to add a SSD in addition to the regular hard drive. I tested the system before cracking it open and everything seemed fine. After the install, I started noticing that the mouse cursor would flicker and sort of ghost itself and also that a small rectangular black bar would appear underneath the cursor. I can use it fine and it doesn't show up when I play games but it's driving me nuts. I know there was some kind of problem if you used an extra monitor but I'm not using one. I took a picture of the problem and can provide it on request. Any input would be appreciated.

    Wow. that is odd looking.
    In your take-apart and rebuild work, did you have to move anything that has to do with the display, it's associated connecting cables, etc?
    Just a guess, but maybe something's been left loose? Something video related?
    Given you indicate no issues pre-upgrades, I would believe something might have been goofed physically.
    Sorry I'm no help here. Was kinda hoping for a shot of something I'd seen before, but that shot is unique to me.

  • Mouse cursor flicker (over links)

    When moving over links, the mouse cursor very quickly flickers when changing from the arrow to hand pointer.
    I've uploaded a slow-mo clip http://youtu.be/ZNQ0D84DdF4 which best demonstrates exactly what's happening.  I had to film using a camera as the screen recorder was not quick enough capture the flicker.
    This happens in all browsers and even the App Store app.

    Another update, I have a software fix - by editing the info.plist file for the pointinghand cursor to alter the x/y positions.
    System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/HI Services.framework/Versions/A/Resources/cursors/pointinghand/info.plist
    I made changes to hoty, hoty-scaled, hotx and hotx-scaled and after some trial and error managed to get rid of the flicker and still have the hand cursor appear in the correct place on rollover/out
    values i used are :
    hoty 6
    hoty-scaled 10
    hotx 8
    hotx-scaled 12
    I used xcode to edit the plist file, then a restart for the changes to take effect.

  • Mouse cursor jittery and broken after latest OS X update

    I just updated my iMac (27", latest model, running Mountain Lion) with the most recent Software Update, and I'm now having big problems with my mouse.
    The mouse cursor jitters wildly any time I move the mouse, jumping several centimetres back and forth (above-left and below-right; it doesn't seem to flicker randomly, just between those three positions. It flickers rapidly between the arrow cursor and the text selection cursor. When I stop moving the mouse, I will often get the wrong cursor (such as an arrow, or a text selection cursor on its side) instead of the correct text selection cursor. I've been stuck with the sideways text selection cursor for the entirety of this post, for instance.
    This also happens in Photoshop when I'm working on images; the cursor will flicker between the arrow and whichever Photoshop tool I'm trying to use, and it will jitter wildly back and forwards. As you can imagine, this makes Photoshop unusable, which is a major problem for me.
    It doesn't happen when I'm using stuff like the menus, or Control Panel, or the Safari bookmarks bar.
    This happens whether I'm using a Magic Mouse via Bluetooth or a USB mouse, so it's not the mouse itself that's the problem.
    I'm using the mouse on the same surface as I previously was with no problems (a wooden desktop with a matte finish), but the same thing happens when I try the mouse on other surfaces such as paper or a mousepad, so it's not the surface that's the problem.
    Please help! This makes my Mac virtually unusable, at least for all the tasks I need to use it for. Any suggestions?

    Hi EleanorJLH,
    You may want to test to see if the issue persists in a new test user to help isolate the possible causes. You may find the following article helpful:

  • 27 Cinema Display flickers on cursor change

    Hello,
    I've recently purchased a 27" Cinema Display and hooked it up to my mid 2010 13" MBP. Everything works fine except for one really annoying thing: The Cinema Display flickers when the mouse cursor changes. I've done a thorough search through the community threads and haven't found anybody who's experiencing the same problem. Could anyone please tell me if they've run into this issue, and if so if there's any way of fixing it.
    Thanks!

    Might be related to the thread below.
    To give you a quick summary, try either of the following:
    - use your macbook's charger rather than the cinema display magsafe connector
    - increase the brightness to 7 bars or more
    - simply unplug the magsafe used by the cinema display

  • New Install - startx results in blank screen with mouse cursor

    I installed Arch on my desktop last week with no issues, so I wanted to install it on an old THinkpad R31. Everything with the installation went smooth, but when I try to 'startx' all I get is a blank screen with a mouse cursor that I can move around. I've installed xorg-xinit, xorg-twm, xorg-xclock, and xterm.
    I'm not getting any significant errors in the logs, or even the terminal I issue 'startx' in.
    I'm not sure what the problem could be...
    Here is my output from 'startx'

    I do indeed.
    I went ahead and installed LXDE anyways, just to see what would happen. Exact same thing, it looks like everything is about to load but only the mouse cursor shows up. My Xorg.0.log is the same, so I won't post it again.
    I do get an error in the console about the openbox menu.xml file missing but I doubt that's related.

  • On startup Mac Pro I get a blue screen and a cursor on the upper left. The mouse cursor shows up independently. Is it likely a video card failure?

    On startup Mac Pro I get a blue screen and a cursor on the upper left. The mouse cursor shows up independently. Is it likely a video card failure?

    I managed to boot the computer and get the desktop to show. I now have a "repaired" computer. There are several problems that have cropped up. One is that I can only start up now in Safe Boot mode. Is there a way to turn it off? Also, I do not have a sound list, so I can't access anything requiring audio. Google Chrome only shows up as a white screen. Pictures that loaded before don't load in browsers, etc. Any suggestions? I figure I should reinstall Mac OS Lion for starts, maybe even do a mirror backup and reformat the drive. I think this drive has turned into scrambled eggs...what a headache!

  • What causes a slow mouse/cursor response on a fast machine?

    I have a system that has always displayed poor cursor redraw performance with certain adobe applications.   All rendering and other effects are fast, but basic mouse selections and button knobs are extremely unresponsive.   I have searched and searched and can not seem to find out what causes the mouse cursor speed issues.   Does anyone have any ideas as to why my mouse would slow for such basic Interface interactions?    Do I need to change my hardware, settings, displays, BIOS, etc?
    Any insight into what the mouse redraw/refresh is called in terms of computing would help me search for a solution.  And if you have a solution as to why my mouse cursor acts drunk and sluggish when interacting with the Adobe UI's in premiere and after effects and sometimes Photoshop I would greatly appreciate the help.
    Thank You.  I attached a screen shot of a very basic selection interaction that is dog slow.  The selection box redraws like there is a lag in some process associated with the square box overlay.

    It takes a long time to draw and redraw the pixels to the screen(s) with such large monitors.
    We can mitigate this by making some changes in how our UI is drawn to the screen, and such changes are a rather high priority for use to work on for the near future.

  • Xorg-server 1.6 - black screen with mouse cursor

    Hi
    First of all: I'm really new to Arch, so maybe there is a real easy fix for this problem
    Since upgrading to xorg-server 1.6 (and today to 1.6.1) I'm not able to get a running Desktop Environment.
    Usually I am using gnome with compiz-fusion on my Geforce 4 (nvidia-96xx 96.43.11-4 driver).
    When I boot my machine i see gdm and I am able to login. I can hear my login sound but I only get a black screen with a mouse cursor.
    I added a new test user to my system without compiz and get the same.
    I tried my old xorg.conf from 1.5, generated a new one with X -configure and tried without xorg.conf but everytime the same
    Actually I'm not sure if the xorg update is responsible for this, because i did not watch the upgrade-process....
    I googled this problem and was searching similar things in this froum, but I wasn't able to find something
    Here are some files
    xorg.conf (i know there are some bullshit things in it, but it was workig )

    I'm having a very similar issue. Sometimes, when I boot and type in startx (I'm not even a GNOME user--I use dwm and no graphical login manager), I just get a black screen. No mouse cursor, so I think X doesn't even load. It only started with the xserver 1.6 update and the update to that hasn't changed anything. What I've been doing is just rebooting until it loads normally (takes one to three times). Is anyone else having this problem?

  • Server 2008 crash - black screen with mouse cursor

    dell poweredge 2950 with Perc 5/I RAID, ESXi 4.1 host, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 VM
    After swapping out a failed raid5 drive this vm began displaying inpage operation error popups while checking folder permissions.  event viewer errors: 
    The file system structure on the disk is corrupt and unusable. Please run the chkdsk utility on the volume \Device\HarddiskVolume2.
     The file system structure on the disk is corrupt and unusable. Please run the chkdsk utility on the volume C:.
    chkdsk /r run from the win2k8r2sp1 install dvd command line resulted in more corrections than i was able to screenshot:
    After this the server would only boot to black screen with mouse cursor.  same black screen result in safe mode or directory services restore mode.  sfc /scannow, startrep, and registry repair from the folder contents @ c:\windows\system32\config\regback
    have been attempted with no improvement.  I am still able to access the filesystem contents using the command line from the win2k8r2sp1 installation DVD -  user + registry files copied over to another drive without problem and i was able to load
    the registry hive on another system.  This server was doing dns, domain controller and certification authority but the only important item is getting the CA back somehow.  Any suggestions are welcome.

    Hi,
    According the information you have provided, the file system is broken.
    After the repair, do chkdsk /r and sfc /scannow give any warning or error?
    If yes, it means that the file system and system file are not repaired. Please post the error or warning here. It may give some hints.
    Best Regards.

  • Gnome Black Screen with Mouse Cursor after Login

    I am using Archlinux 64bit with a Gnome Desktop Environment. Everything was running normally uptill today. When i ran "sudo fc-cache", my system froze. I couldnt open any other app but i was able to access terminal. I restarted using "reboot" command. After that I was unable to log in to my desktop.
    The Gnome login screen comes and after entering the correct username and password, all I can see is a black screen with mouse cursor. I then started gnome manually with "startx" and it worked. But still I am unable to use normally (that is the graphical login). I reinstalled gdm but it didnt work. Please help me out.

    there are a lot of processess running... dunno killing which process will not cause a problem
    here is the xorg log  ( sorry i dont have much knowlegde to analyse it )

  • Black Screen with mouse cursor

    Hello
    We are an enterprise organization with staffs logging in to their systems using domain username and password.
    For some of our users having Windows 7 as OS, when they log in with their domain credentials a blank screen appears with movable mouse cursor, this screen does not go away until we disconnect them from LAN as well as wireless after which only the login
    happens.
    Kindly suggest how to resolve this issue

    Hi,
    Have you tried the suggestion Cyber_Defend_Team provided?
    If the issue persists, start the computer in Safe mode to check the result:
    If it doesn't reappear when you start in safe mode, you can eliminate the default settings and basic device drivers as possible causes. If a recently installed program, device, or driver prevents Windows from running correctly, you can start your computer
    in safe mode and then remove the program that's causing the problem.
    If it still in the safe mode, we may need to repair the installation with the recovery media.
    In addition, please logon the problematic computer with the domain user account which works fine in other computer to test to see if it's the user account issue.

  • [SOLVED] log into KDE given a blank black screen with mouse cursor

    hi,
    noticed kwin using much higher cpu usage then normal, restarted KDE, everything seemed ok and then, while copying a file over to a samba share, my desktop went black with only a mouse cursor.
    Restarted KDE, rebooted pc, reinstalled KDE (everything), xorg, nvidia, deleted xorg.conf created new user but nothing will give me my desktop back
    once when i logged on, i had a kde crash report and messages on my widgets saying missing components. Tried to submit bug but missing debugging tools.
    sometimes KDE won't log in at all.
    forced an fsck on next boot with no errors found.
    please help
    thanks
    EDIT: [solved] I had filled up my /var partition. cleaned pacman cache and all is good again. Phew!

  • Vista Home Premium: Following install, black screen with mouse cursor

    I have tried installing with Boot Camp (v2.0) twice now with the same result.
    After the install is complete, the mac reboots into windows. I should see the Vista welcome screen but instead I get the black screen with a mouse cursor. The mouse is functional but clearly not much use!
    A subsequent reboot brings up the options for restarting following an unclean shutdown of windows. Running in safe mode, the restart hangs. The last dll loaded was crcdisk.
    I am running an OEM version - once activated (assuming I ever get that far) - the installation will be locked to the mac... which is fine.
    Googling the problem reveals some early Vista beta issues with graphics that caused a similar problem. Does Vista have an issue with the 8800GT that is fitted in my Mac?
    Any help/ideas/suggestions/fixes much appreciated. Rather stumped.
    I would load up XP Pro but I dont have an installer with SP2 :/

    Well my problem turns out to be a bad disk. I added two seagate 7200.11 750GB drives. Once which was making ominous ticking sounds. Vista took an age to install and really, I should have caught on earlier.
    When I got a bunch of disk i/o errors creating a Fusion VM of XP Pro I decided to remove the disk and to try the other unit.
    Vista installed very rapidly indeed and worked. Yes worked.
    Hurrah! Problem solved.
    Time to see about replacing that disk...
