I 'm USING Linux Fedora Core 5 operating system on one of 3 hard drives in my pc. I can see the mouse cursor (pointer) during boot up and loading the OS but when it gets to the LOGIN screen it's not there. I type in my login name and password it goes to my desktop and no mouse pointer (cursor) is there. I can MOVE the mouse and when the INVISABLE pointer gets to a menu bar icon, or a desktop icon, the icon will highlite and I can open the program. So all it does is highlite a program icon after I HUNT and find it. My graphics came embedded into the mommyboard. no card. it's an nVidea GeForce 6100 GPU with available PCI-Express slot. How can I enable a visible software cursor?
Thanks,JimEek. Unless GX1_Man here has an idea, you MIGHT be better off asking this over on the Fedora forums. It's almost certainly a graphics driver/X server problem - those guys will be able to put their fingers on the problem fairly quickly, I would think.It's definitely an X problem, andn Rob has pointed you in the right direction.
