Full Discussion: Xterm, removing text cursor
Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Xterm, removing text cursor Post 302818775 by demoreal on Sunday 9th of June 2013 06:11:48 AM
Old 06-09-2013
I did not know about either of the commands and both worked.
Yet they are both only temporary.
When I enter a program and quit, the cursor returns, but only when it is a program that runs in the current terminal i.e., emacs. If I invoke a program to open in a separate window i.e., xemacs and exit the cursor is still gone.
I will read up tomorrow on those commands and see if there is a way to make this change permanent.
Thanks

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.
