Description Suberu 2009-11-28 00:45:27 UTC 
Version:           4.3.77  kde4=>20091123 release4 (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Can't see mouse cursor over guest in vnc connection.

Console program "vncviewer" sees it under same terms.

My comp has enabled 3d effects within kdm (disabled, but it can't solved problem) and nvidia gf8600gts with nvidia prop driver v.195.22 

Guest(vnc-server) has simple video and 3d disabled.

Hm. Not in kword. Bug in krdc! Sorry.
Comment 2 Urs Wolfer 2009-11-29 11:37:16 UTC 
Does it work with vncviewer, but not with KRDC?
Comment 3 Suberu 2009-11-29 17:02:45 UTC 
Yes, it works in vncviewer.  
Now in krdc:
Tried to connect with low connection settings - cursor replaced by small circle but many artefacts on screen.
In connection with medium and high quality settings mouse cursor disappears when moved over only remote desktop screen place. But mouse clicks works there.
Comment 4 Urs Wolfer 2009-11-29 17:11:22 UTC 
What VNC server are you using? Can you reproduce this issue also with another VNC server?
Comment 5 Suberu 2009-11-29 17:26:12 UTC 
tightvnc 1.3.9-106.1-i586 - opensuse 11.2 default version (configured with yast)

! with x11vnc 0.9.8-2.1-i586 - works fine with every quality and my host kde4's cursor present..

I experienced the generally same behavier as suberu described: mouse shows as circle.. no graphical feedback. similar hard and software on both sides of the connection. Did not tried any workarounds.

I confirm the bug with the openSUSE 11.2 default packages:

krfb-4.3.1-4.3
krdc-4.3.1-4.3

Dear Bug Submitter,

This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

Mmmm. Too much time passed. I'm thinking it was fixed.
