Type and version: KN01 7.3M (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type: PMAX-MFB
What were you trying to do?
Use xsetroot -cursor bitmapfile maskfile to set my root cursor
What's wrong:
The maskfile is apparently ignored/unused/useless/something.
I get a nice black square behind my cursor instead.
reproduce this with:
attach -n -q yandros;xsetroot -cursor
/mit/yandros/Graphics/Bitmaps/root.cursor.xbm
/mit/yandros/Graphics/Bitmaps/root.mask.xbm
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
John Carr said this when I mentioned it:
I haven't used a 7.3 DECstation, but I was in a meeting where
the serverproblems were discussed.
Please fill in this field the stuff that doesn't fit in the above sections:
General consensus said that dxpsview was considered to be more
important, so I don't need a reply telling me this.
