cursor does not become red shifted

[Chris J Arges]

I expected the cursor to also be shifted red, instead it is the normal color.

On Ubuntu 12.04 amd64 Desktop.

It seems to be a known limitation : when your graphics driver is configured to use hardware cursors Redshift won’t affect its color ( http://jonls.dk/redshift/ ).

In some cases, it could be possible to disable hardware cursors in xorg.conf (but how ?).

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
