I run gentoo on a laptop with a 1600*1200 display. For that reason, I've replaced my /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/cursor.pcf.gz with a version containing much larger cursor symbols (don't know the origin of the larger version - I think it comes with the KDE desktop in most dist's, but I don't have KDE on this box). The problem is that each emerge of xfree overwrites this file with the original one, resulting in tiny cursors. I know that this is the way it is expected to work, but it is annoying, anyway. Is there any way to make this change permanent, or to provide the big cursors with the xfree emerge?
