Cursor size

Post by Rebo2000 »

Hi,

I have a problem with the cursor size in XFCE.
I have setup a Laptop for my mother (Dell Inspiron 6000,2Gb Ram, Pentium M 32 Bit). As she is a little bit older, she asked me for a bigger mousecursor.
So I changed the cursor size and everything was ok. But after reboot the cursor is only in some application big and on the desktop still small.
The OS is a complete fresh install, nothing changed. What did I wrong ?
I need no special cursor, only a bigger one...

Thanks in advance for your help

Greets,

Reiner

Hi,

as I found the solution for myself, I will post it here...
When you activate the automatic login, it is not possible to change the cursor. It will only work in some applications, on desktop and menus the cusor stays standart and small.
When you login with name and password, everthing is ok and you have the cursor as you wish.
I have had the same behavior with Lubuntu before, that was the reason for the change to mint. I thought mint was too slow for the laptop, but it is fast enough ;-)
