Re: GrfModes for Picasso/Xcl

Hi Olivier,

> Is there any fix for this?

Yes.  A workaround is to disable the Hardware cursor in the kernel.
Edit grf_cl.c and look for the cl_ioctl function.

Changes this lines:

            case GRFIOCGSPRITEPOS:
                return (cl_getmousepos(gp, (struct grf_position *) data));
   
            case GRFIOCSSPRITEPOS:
                return (cl_setmousepos(gp, (struct grf_position *) data));

            case GRFIOCSSPRITEINF:
                return (cl_setspriteinfo(gp, (struct grf_spriteinfo *) data));

            case GRFIOCGSPRITEINF:
                return (cl_getspriteinfo(gp, (struct grf_spriteinfo *) data));

            case GRFIOCGSPRITEMAX:
                return (cl_getspritemax(gp, (struct grf_position *) data));

to:

        case GRFIOCGSPRITEPOS:
        case GRFIOCSSPRITEPOS:
        case GRFIOCSSPRITEINF:
        case GRFIOCGSPRITEINF:
        case GRFIOCGSPRITEMAX:
            return (EINVAL);


I know this works because I've done it, and now Xcl has an unbroken
pointer (thanks to Bernd for the info).


Phil.
