Disappearing cursor

[Bauldrick]

Managed to get my screen resolution to 1280x1024, but now whenever I log out and log back in as me or another user my cursor is no longer visable?!

Re: Disappearing cursor

To rule out the obvious: is the mouse still "there" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf ...?

For comparison (only), following the relevant parts of my Kubuntu setup:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier   "Configured Mouse"
    Driver     "mouse"
    Option     "CorePointer"
    Option     "Device"        "/dev/input/mice"
    Option     "Protocol"       "ExplorerPS/2"
    Option     "ZAxisMapping"     "4 5"
    Option     "Emulate3Buttons"    "true"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
    InputDevice   "Configured Mouse"
EndSection

EndSection

And how about the server layout (see the bottom section of my previous post) ...?

Re: Disappearing cursor

Actually, the cursor disappears the moment I log out.

And how about the server layout (see the bottom section of my previous post) ...?

No, it's not there. I added that logged out and then Ctrl+Alt+Backspace and got the command prompt (again ) restarted kdm and ended up with a black screen (flashing cursor top left), and no commands work.

So I've taken it out again

Re: Disappearing cursor

Hello Bauldrick,

It's a bug in the driver, you need to turn HWCursor off - so the relevent part of xorg.conf should read:

Section "Device"
Identifier "nVidia Corporation C51 [GeForce 6150 LE]"
Driver "nv"
BusID "PCI:0:5:0"
Option "HWCursor" "off"
EndSection
