No mouse pointer

[ALmos]

I have Linux Mint Elyssa (Ubuntu 8.04) XFCE. I installed Piacasa from
the repo.

The problem is that the mouse pointer is not visible on the gui. I can
click onto the icons, but the cursor is not visible.

What shall I do?

Thanks in advance!

What video card / driver version are you using? You might need to set
either the sw_cursor or hw_cursor option in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

Hi leiz,

here is my xorg.conf. What do you suggest to change?

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "hu"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"

Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "0"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
SubSection "Display"

in this section:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
EndSection

Can you try adding one of the following?
Option "sw_cursor"
Option "hw_cursor"

I have no idea how smart X is, you might also need to tell it what
device you're using. i.e.
Driver "nvidia"
Driver "radeon"

/var/log/Xorg*.log will probably tell you what driver you're currently
using.
