Follow the steps detailed below. If you don't want to get and compile the bdfresize package yourself, you can skip to step 3 and download a magnified font instead of creating it.
zcat bdfresize-1.4.tar.Z | tar xf - cd bdfresize-1.4 xmkmf makeOn Linux you probably have to use:
make CCOPTIONS='-include /usr/include/bsd/bsd.h' clean all
mkdir $HOME/fonts bdfresize -f 2 cursor.bdf | bdftopcf >$HOME/fonts/cursor2.pcf mkfontdir $HOME/fontsI have prepared some cursor fonts with the following magnification factors: 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 16. You can download one of them an copy it to
$HOME/fonts
if you don't want to use bdfresize.
.xinitrc
or .xsession
file: before
any X client (that uses cursors) is started the following
commands must be executed:
xset +fp $HOME/fonts xsetroot -cursor_name X_cursor
That's it—now all mouse cursors should have doubled in size.
