[gutsy] cursor endian problem

Good enough fix is at:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11796

more specifically:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=11431&action=view

That should not affect little endian architectures and fix the problem for now until a better fix is found in upstream x.org

...coming from bug #141161, I still experience this issue with hardy's xserver; any chance this will get fixed finally? :-)

It's a little delicate since the patches are not accepted upstream yet, and both the server and the ati driver needs to be fixed. But the recent activity on the upstream bug should give some hope.

...it just got committed/fixed upstream! So there shouldn't be any obstacles left, right? :-)

...might show up in a new xserver-xorg-core package upload? :-)

I noticed a new xserver-xorg-core package,

but no mention of any big-endian fix :-/

...is there anything I can do, to help speed things up with getting this fix merged into hardy?

Thanks, I'll add it to our package.

This bug was fixed in the package xorg-server - 2:1.4.1~git20080131-1ubuntu7
