Hey all!
Long-time lurker, first-time poster. I've been on FreeBSD for 2 years, so I am still a noob in MANY regards, and this may be a noobish problem
Here's the situation. I've built a system for a non-computer literate friend so he can literally boot up, and ONLY use Blender 3D for digital sculpting. Basically a dedicated workstation, if you will. I have xorg installed, and start blender directly within the .xinitrc file. The problem I have is two-fold. First, the mouse cursor only appears when you move to the edge of the screen (I can see the brush in Blender sculpt move is how I know it is working at all), and then it becomes the ugly "X" cursor from then out. Obviously, with a window manager running, these problems don't exist, but in the case of a single program, I can't for the life of me figure out how to fix it. I've been googling all morning and searching here and still can't seem to find an answer, so here I am, hoping someone else has dealt with this. Even pointing me in the right direction documentation-wise would be a great help.
Thanks in advance, I hope I've been fairly clear
...and Happy Thanksgiving to those in the US!
PS...I know it seems weird that I don't want a formal desktop on this system, but when I say my friend is computer-illiterate, I mean SEVERELY (we're still working on the concept of folders). He is, however, a very talented artist.
This system only needs to do one thing, everything else will just confuse him more!
