Where's the mouse pointer?

[Martin Duclos]

To expand on my last post, rhgb seems to be started on a seperate X server 
to avoid flicker when switching to a different tty to the graphic login. 
There appears to be a bug in the nvidia driver. There is one x running for 
rhbg, then a second one is started for graphic login and then rhgb dies. 
Somehow there's an issue with passing ther hardare cursor between two x 
servers. I should have said the workaround is to disable HWcursor as opposed 
to a fix...

I found a fix for the problem!
I added this line to the xorg.conf.
Option      "HWCursor" "off"
Found out the same problem seems to be affecting nvidia cards whith rhgb 
installed. Either removing rhgb or modifying xorg.conf fix the problem.

i have seen exactly this issue too,
it got solved by changing from a usb to a ps2 mouse.
well not a perfect sol'n but it did solve it.
