Many thanks for your amazing and very interesting X2X.
I use it in original way and I have problem to see mouse cursor on the client machine.
Server is Ubuntu 10.4 with XRDP + TightVNC server
Client is tablet PC on Windows CE (sorry, no choice !) with RDP client
I use X2X over to the "to" display option, keyboard work, the mouse is active (II can focuse windows and clic R is active, ex: menu on desktop) but the mouse cursor is not visible. Only the original pointer from CE is visible and don't move.
I have try many options in x2x, rdp, vnc, x11, but it's seems to be outside of my competence .
Do you have some idea ?
Thanks Frank French Guiana

try manually setting a cursor with
xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr

For gnome or unity try
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.cursor active false
or
dconf write /org/gnome/settings/daemon/plugins/cursor/active false

and restart the session.

It solved the problem in my case, where the cursor was invisible until the real mouse was moved.

I have the same problem.

Unfortunately, luxigo's dconf trick didn't solve this problem for me.

@ghost :If you are using it, you could try to switch from xserver-xorg-video-nouveau to the proprietary nvidia-xxx driver
