Hi all!

Using 64-bit Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope and Wine 1.1.23. Until a week ago, everything worked fine for me, but from that on mouse cursor started disappearing when moving in Wine window. More precisely, it turns "invisible". It still works, but I can't see the cursor. I believe no systemwide changes were made to the system (the user doesn't add apps by herself nor uses terminal).

I'm trying to run two games. Fish Tycoon and Plant Tycoon. Both worked fine until this issue came up.

I found an old thead with similar problem: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10026

But when I added the line
    Option       "SWCursor" "true"
into the xorg.conf "Devices" section and rebooted for the effect to show, the cursor became invisible SYSTEMWIDE, only sometimes showing up at random, so, I changed it back.

I'm at loss here. Here's my xorg.conf if that's needed:


Code:
Section "Monitor"
    Identifier    "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier    "Default Screen"
    Monitor        "Configured Monitor"
    Device        "Configured Video Device"
    DefaultDepth    24
EndSection

Section "Module"
    Load    "glx"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier    "Configured Video Device"
    Driver    "nvidia"
    Option    "NoLogo"    "True"
EndSection



I also created a thread in ubuntuforums but the thread never got any useful responses there. I entered some commands what I was recommended to, but those didn't change anything. Anyways the thread is here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7425962

Mouse works fine in Notepad however, but I never tried that before entering the two commands recommended in the ubuntuforums thread.

Any help appreciated. :)
