Description of problem:
most of the time when I startup I get the login screen (gdm) whitout a mouse
pointer, If I login the mouse is working (move, scroll) but I see no pointer.
Selecting a new mouse pointer makes no difference. Maybe it has something todo
with fact that I upgrades from fc4 to fc5. I have other system x386 same
xorg.conf that works fine.
It makes no difference if I use a USB mouse instead of PS2

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
all latest updates have been applied

How reproducible:
I would say 9 out of 10 times that I login


Steps to Reproduce:
1. reboot system
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
login screen without mouse pointer

Expected results:
login screen with mouse pointer

problem was probably related to version of nvidia driver

after upgrading to nvidia driver 1.0-8756 the problem has disappeared

If you were originally using the "nv" driver, supplied with Fedora Core, then
this is indeed a bug in the driver.  It's being tracked in a different bug
report already though.  Once there is a patch available from upstream that
fixes it, we'll probably release an updated driver.  Until then, those who
wish to use the OSS driver can use:

Option "swcursor"

That works around the problem.
