Hi,
I just installed f7 on a new box. Once the machine is up and running the mouse pointer disappears. The mouse is working because if I move it carefully I can use it to navigate the menus at the top of the screen. I was able to turn on the option to highlight the mouse when the ctrl key is pressed which allows me to kind of operate the machine.
I have installed all of the updates but I cannot figure out how to get the mouse pointer to show up. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this.
I am not running any of the nVidia propriatory modules and I would like to avoid that if possible.
Sounds like: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3009
Solution: Disable HWCursor in Xorg.
Example: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "nv" Option "HWCursor" "off" EndSection
Hope this helps.
