[gentoo-user] Mouse pointer in Xorg?

[gentoo-user] Mouse pointer in Xorg?

[Jeff Grant]

I want my default Xorg pointer back - silly right?

How the heck do you manipulate the appearance of the mouse pointer?
Never though about this one.

Can you change it on the fly? As in, I'm using Gnome - but it's mouse
config doesn't have the boring core pointer as an option - and I like
the boring core pointer.

Not for running apps, but any new apps you start will use the change.
