Maybe DUP of bug 204599?
Creigh, do you have switched on compix (i.e., System/Preferences/Desktop Effects is on)? If yes, could you, please, try to reproduce the bug with this setting switcehd off? Thank you.
I saw this on FC5 as well. No compiz, no console switching. I think all systems were using the NVIDIA driver. In the latest case with FC6, initial install had a working cursor. After installing the NVIDIA driver and rebooting, it was still working. Then the user installed all pending updates and rebooted. After that, the cursor was missing.
The same thing happened to me on my amd 3800 x2. Everything worked until I installed the NVIDIA driver from livna. Uninstalling the NVIDIA driver didn't fix the problem.
A workaround that works for me. If I turn off grub's booting with the gui I get the cursor to work. It doesn't go away after I do ctrl-alt-f1

I'd like to get this reopened as I'm seeing it with nvidia chipsets, not i810. I did a clean install of 32-bit F7 on an Athlon64 X2. The important part seems to be that's it's an integrated nvidia graphics chipset. This has only happened for me on the integrated chipsets, not the standalone cards. It didn't matter if it was using the nv driver or the nvidia one. Both drivers required the hardware cursor to be turned off. I don't have access to this computer any more, but I have a friend with the same problem. He installed FC6 and I helped him turn off the hardware cursor. He just upgraded to F7 now and the problem reappeared, he had to turn it off again.
Further info from my friend after I explained how to turn the hardware cursor off: Thanks, got it working now. The strange thing is that the cursor showed up when first booted, but would disappear whenever logging the first user off and logging on again, even if the same user logged back on.
Sorry, getting lost in our bugzilla. Samuel, can I ask you to file a new bug for this -- refer to this bug as previous case, but I would love to have you as reporter of the bug (I cannot switch reporters with the old bug). Don't forget to attach as separate uncompressed attachments /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log of the system affected by this bug and try to run X without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf whatsoever -- what will be the results? Thanks a lot. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 204599 ***
