VNC 4.0 - mouse cursor flicker problem ...

[James Weatherall]

Ken,

The mouse flicker that you describe is an artefact of a more complete
capture method used by VNC Server 4.0, which ensures that alpha-blended
windows & menus are displayed.

What is puzzling is that you say that you get this problem with x2vnc.  The
mouse will only flicker when there are clients connected that are requesting
display updates.  Since x2vnc never displays any graphics, it should never
request a graphical update.  So it sounds as though x2vnc is broken.
