View Full Version : no xorg.conf file in F10, so how can I add HWCursor option?

I'm using F10 Beta, and my installation had no need for a
/etc/X11/xorg.conf file. But I have the invisible mouse pointer
problem so I need to add:

Option "HWcursor" "False"

to the /etc/X11/xorg.conf

But since I don't have that file what can be done?

I tried quitting X and then running Xorg -configure as root from runlevel 3
to build a new xorg.conf file but it insists on making a vesa style xorg.conf
file, I want a normal Xorg file (my Nvidia 6100 onboard hardware works ok
with the nv and nvidia drivers, I don't need to resort to vesa). Is it as simple
as just changing the

Driver "vesa" to
Driver "nv"

then add the HWCursor line and move the file to /etc/X11
??

There is no config file anymore because everything is supposed to 'just work' which is admirable of the devs, but bloody laughable nonetheless.

However you can create an xorg.conf file and the system will respect it.

I fixed it by doing the Xorg -configure, changing the "vesa" to "nv" and
adding the HWCursor off line.
