xmonad xcursor

xmonad is showing  a 'x' by default instead of a pointer, I have set the default cursor in Xdefault but its not working, its working for some apps but not for all.

Add the following to .xinitrc:

xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr

Re: xmonad xcursor

Add exactly what I wrote above to .xinitrc.

Then add the following to .Xdefaults:

Xcursor.theme: Premium

You were already told what to do.
Change "xsetroot -cursor_name Premium &" to "xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr"

That's because there's no cursor named "Premium". That the theme you're using. You want left_ptr, which is the normal cursor. Currently you're getting X_cursor. "boat" is another good choice.
