sketchup white box under cursor

[srpenney]

Hi folks,

I'm new to Wine and so far most things work great. However, I've installed SketchUp and I constantly have a white box under the cursor. It looks almost like the icon's transparency isn't working and the areas that should be transparent are white.

I found an old thread in the Ubuntu forums where someone had the same issue, but I could not find a resolution there. There don't seem to be any bugs open to track this issue so I'm assuming that it's not too common. I also searched the forum here and didn't find anything.

If someone knows of an existing thread please point me to it.

My system settings are: wine-1.1.31, Ubunty 9.10 (Karmic Koala), video card ASUS EAH4850 using ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver.

Wine is configured to run sketchup in XP mode and the problem persists if I use directX or not.

Any help is greatly appreciated,

I should have also mentioned that the version of Sketchup that I'm running is 7.1.6860.

Thanks again,

A little more information that I forgot to mention was that the cursor is fine the instant that the pointy end goes either into the upper menu or the lower status bar. The white box is only present when the cursor is on the canvas area.

It's apparently a known problem with the fglrx driver. http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... &iId=18506
Scroll down and read the thread "White box around mouse pointer."
