Bug#688660: nvidia-graphics-drivers: draftsight cursor is not displayed with nvidia driver 304.48-1

[Yorik van Havre]

Package: nvidia-graphics-drivers
Version: 304.48-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Hi,

Just to notify,

I noticed this little bug, starting with the nvidia driver version 304.48-1:
The mouse cursor doesn't appear anymore in DraftSight (CAD application).
This happens only in DraftSight's work view, where it draws its own cursor,
not over menus and toolbars, where the normal X11 cursor is used.

There seem to be other mouse cursor problems with that 304.48 version
related on different places on the net...

This problem is solved when installing the nvidia driver version 304.51
from the nvidia website.
