OK this is weird, i powered off went to dinner, can back powered up, pointer was there. Is this a problem with Dell and not Fedora?
Fedora 7 test bugs should be filed against "devel", not against test1/2/3. This isn't obvious, I know. Moving this report so it isn't lost. This is a bulk message -- I apologize if this was actually meant to be targeted against a different release. If so, please fix or let me know. Thanks.
I am experiencing this also. Fedora 7 on an HP dv6000z laptop. The pointer is there during the graphic bootup, but is not present at the graphic login nor when the desktop appears. The mouse touchpad) functionality is "there" because you can hover over the menu items and they drop down and mouse clicks are functioning. The visible pointer is not shown. This problem is intermittent; some boots the problem does not happen, some it does. I have not experienced it when booting into run level 3 and starting X via startx.
I am using up to date Fedora Test 4 32 bit.

I am using 2.6.23.9-85.fc8 #1 SMP Fri Dec 7 15:49:36 EST 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux. When i first installed the 64 bit i had the problem. I have changed the way Fedora starts. I have changes the grub file. #hiddenmenu and removed rhgb quiet.
nearly sure this is nv specific..
Right you are, Dave -- this is IMHO one of the most duplicated bugs in the RH Xorg universe. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 182517 ***
