Wierd cursor behavior in Linux
I Have a COBOL application running over iscobol platform in Linux server.

we run Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 4 (Nahant Update 4)
Kernel \r on an \m

and the command "uname -a" gave me that:
Linux trilinux 2.6.9-42.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Jul 12 23:27:17 EDT 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

the problem is that when the application loads the cursor blinks on the bottom right corner of the screen. the ACTUAL location of the cursor is not there. it's in the program's text boxes and when you type it types in the right place. just the blinking is on the bottom right corner.

we use secureCRT. I have a feeling it's something about the terminfo file but I've never had to deal with it.

DESCRIPTION

       glutSetCursor  changes  the cursor image of the current window.	Each call requests the window system change the cursor appropriately.  The
       cursor image when a window is created is GLUT_CURSOR_INHERIT. The exact cursor images used are implementation dependent. The intent is  for
       the image to convey the meaning of the cursor name. For a top-level window, GLUT_CURSOR_INHERIT uses the default window system cursor.

X IMPLEMENTATION NOTES

       GLUT for X uses SGI's _SGI_CROSSHAIR_CURSOR convention to access a full-screen cross-hair cursor if possible.
