Cursor not changing in LXDE

#1 Post by athenacadence »

Hello. I am running Debian 8 (Jessie) on a Linode server. I have vnc4server installed, and can remote in just fine. However, I am unable to set the X cursor to anything. So, it is staying an "x."

Here is my Xstartup:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey -cursor_name left_ptr autocutsel -fork
lxsession -s LXDE &
I am running LXDE. Additionally, "Customize Look and Feel" crashes my entire experience and I have to restart vnc4server.

Thanks!

Note: have tried "update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme" also.

Where are the newlines or semicolons?

Code: Select all

xrdb $HOME/.Xresources 
xsetroot -solid grey -cursor_name left_ptr 
autocutsel -fork
lxsession -s LXDE &
