I am connecting from my Windows 7 machine to my Lubuntu 14.04 server using TightVNC. Everything is working as expected except the remote mouse cursor only displays as an "X".
My ./vnc/xstartup file is configured as follows:
#!/bin/sh xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey autocutsel -fork lxsession -s Lubuntu -e LXDE and to set up TightVNC on the server, I installed the following packages:
- lubuntu-desktop
- tightvncserver
- autocutsel
Do I need to install a package to get the remote mouse cursor to show up correcting when using TightVNC? Do I need to add a command to my xstartup file?

After researching into each command used in my xstartup file and the options available, I found the solution to be adding the following parameters to xsetroot:
-cursor_name left_ptr So, my xstartup file now looks like this:
#!/bin/sh xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey -cursor_name left_ptr autocutsel -fork lxsession -s Lubuntu -e LXDE
