Folks,

I'm running Hardy with Visual Effects turned off (set to None).

Somehow I managed to turn on the function where hitting the Ctrl key
causes a bullseye to appear around the cursor and I don't even know what
its called, or how I did it. This may be nice, but its interfering with
some websites and some data entry, so I want to get rid of it, but HOW?

I have searched all the Compiz applets, but no joy. Help!

...Thanks,
...Ken

That's not a compiz feature. See menu System > Preferences > Mouse >
Show position of pointer ...

Duh

Duh is right. Spent all my time looking at Compiz and forgot the simple
stuff. Thanks for the help!

Don't feel badly; I've used Ubuntu since the beginning and had no idea
that that feature existed. I guess I've never had an issue with mice
and didn't need to investigate.
And, BTW, it's danged cool!
