I have just installed the Xcl X11R6 server for my Picasso2 (1M RAM) board.
I have used ListModes to convert the standard Villiage-38 monitor
definition file to something that grfconfig will eat.

I have a couple of questions:

1.  Do I need to add "grfconfig /dev/gf3 /etc/grfmode" to /etc/rc.local, or
    are the definitions persistent after doing a grfconfig?

2.  I have started the X server with an 800x600x256 display, and it work
    perfectly *except* that the pointer is corrupt.  Instead of being the
    normal arrow, it is a set of vertical lines.  When the pointer changes
    the corrupted pointer changes, but it does not seem to restore itself.
    Is there something else I need to do?


Thanks,
Phil.
