Subject: Cursors have magenta backgrounds?
I just compiled 0.2.9, seems to work great. Thank you very much. Many fixes and new developments!
However, all the cursors now have magenta backgrounds. This is the default transparent color, and looks like it should get handled in pcx.cpp properly. Is this something on my end? 0.2.8 works fine. I'm using Arch linux, reasonably new. I'm not sure if this is an issue, but the only thing I have that opens PCX files is gimp, and it looks like it has trouble too. A missing library perhaps?
It looks like the cursor is drawn by the Xorg/SDL, because it changes when I try to take screenshot. I've never seen this magenta transparency before, and I do a fair bit of SDL/game hacking. There is *some* transparency happening, but it appears the XOR for alpha color is not happening fully. Odd.
