Description of problem: When I boot up fedora 7 the mouse pointer vanishes when the login screen comes up. The pointer seems to exist because the highlight mouse pointer option allows me to know where it is and I can click and open/close apps but I can't see the pointer. I'm new to all of this so if anyone could walk me through step by step on a fix I would greatly appreciate it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot up computer 2.login to fedora 3. Actual results: Mouse pointer vanishes Expected results: mouse pointer should be visible Additional info:
If you edit /etc/grub.conf and remove rhgb from the kernel command line, then do you get a cursor at the login screen?
if so, this could be a dupe of bug 243797
