Subject: Re: Cursors have magenta backgrounds?
As a funny sidenote, the cursor images are in PCX format. After checking around my system everything that opens PCX files has it's own implementation of the process. GIMP opens them fine, but has trouble with a limited palette it seems. Gqview just fails and doesn't even try, as does EOG. Xloadimage, xli, all show static, but they have their own little pcx.c files and their own notion of what a PCX file is. So far I cannot find a graphics library that has some standard implementation. ImageMagick converts them fine, with magenta background.
Also, my video card is AMD Radeon. I see there may be trouble with radeon and SDL2. Is this a hwcursor issue do you think?
