    It seems the Linux mouse cursor fix is no longer working for me, I did a game, pretty glitchy UI as normal, but after restarting PA when the game was over... There was no more cursor. :(

    Not really, as it's support for his mod, hehe.

    Though it turns out it... sometimes works, 90% it doesn't though. Confusing to say the least. =P

    Do you use open source drivers? E.g Intel GPU?

    For me it's works for sure.

    Are you sure you're not running 2nd copy of PA?

    Trick this mode use depend on Coherent debugger port number and if there other instance running mod won't work. It's also won't work if one of "CoherentUI_Host" processes accidentally remain running after game has crashed or just quit and this does happen sometimes, but isn't often.

    So you can make sure PA is not running and then do this:
    Code:
    ps aux | grep Coherent
    killall -9 CoherentUI_Host
    Then mod likely will work again. :)

    PS: And yeah using non-standard "--coherent_port" will also break the mod because there is no way determine debugger port number from UI code.

    You can also try --software-ui. That gets me a cursor on an Intel HD4000 without using the mod. Actually, the build menu and such are more stable with that flag too.
