Aparently 3,3 is insane for an appliance and 1, 200 is sane

| Post subject: | Mouse Cursor Disappears |
The mouse cursor will disappear when the mouse movement ceases. It also seems to randomly disappear at times when moving the mouse. At best this is a mild nuisance and at its worst makes it nearly impossible to point and click. I have to make large mouse movements to have the computer redraw the cursor. Is this something that can be corrected? This would be easier to live with if I was not using Firefox on this machine. I am using a USB Microsoft Comfort mouse 3000 if it makes any difference. |

LinHES uses unclutter to hide the mouse pointer to make the system more like an appliance. You can toggle unclutter on/off by pressing ctrl+alt u. You can also change the idle and jitter settings in /etc/unclutter.cfg to be less aggressive. |

The default settings seem silly to me. You have to move the cursor some silly distance like 200 pixels every 1 second for it to be considered as "moving" so if you are only moving it a bit, it will still disappear (and will stay gone until you move it 200 pixels). Here are my settings: 3 second timeout, 3 pixels movement to bring it back. Code: [gfrost@mythtv etc]$ cat unclutter.cfg
idle=3 jitter=3 |

OMG this has been bothering me for years. I learned about the CTRL ALT U a while ago but actually changing the settings so that the cursor is useful is a much better Idea. I think I'm going to submit a bug saying that this 3 x 3 setting should be the default instead of 1 x 300. Thanks Greg |

yes because pushing ctrl alt u everytime you want to use hulu is much better than the mouse just appearing when reliably when you need it. |
