I don't really see a question?  I've never used big-cursor pkg, but I 
guess it might have some issue with configuration?  Have you tried

Is it really necessary to hammer the list with questions about your 
stretch upgrade?  Many people did this a couple yrs ago and many of the 
problems are documented on the interwebs.
