Currently if modesetting ever fails to set a hardware cursor it will switch to using a software cursor and never go back. Change this to only permanently switch to a software cursor if -ENXIO is returned (which means hardware cursors not supported), and to otherwise still try a hardware cursor first every time a new one is set. This is needed because hardware may be able to handle some cursors in hardware and others not, or virtual hardware may be able to handle hardware cursors at some times and not others. Changes since v1, v2 and v3: * take into account the switch to load_cursor_argb_check * keep the permanent software cursor fall-back if -ENXIO is returned * move parts of v3 into separate patches Reviewed-by: Adam Jackson <ajax@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Thayer <michael.thayer@oracle.com>
X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows,
which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program
can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server
(or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager,
which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons
and draggable titlebars and borders.
