I'm having a technical problem with the game...help :s
I've been enjoying the game for some time on CAO server, and it seems it's safe to say that i'm in love with the game 
I did, however, have trouble with occasional lag (sometimes with the server but it also doesn't help the fact that i'm sitting on the other side of the Earth ...)
So I decided to just install it in my box (Freebsd 9-stable running x/openbox/urxvt). Really, the only thing i'll be missing i suppose would be the player ghosts, which is shame but not game-breaking. The build and installation of version 0.10.2 went well, as far as i can tell. Starting and playing the game seems smooth. There's just one glitch: cursor is apparently ..err... not apparent.
When I press X or x, toggling the view mode, cursor doesn't show up. It's there; i know so because i can press directional keys and see that descriptions of the places change or use it to move my character elsewhere, but the cursor itself is not visible on the screen. This is a problem since i can't tell where I am pointing my cursor or which staircase i'm headed to, or where I am really firing the missile. Fortunately, the cursor shows in red color when i'm targeting hostile. I haven't tried it with friendly targeting, so I can't comment on that. I assume it may have to do with the coloring.
Are there any tips on how I could address the issue?
