| | I was trying to load Fedora into my Machine. After 30 minutes of smooth run, I succeeded in installing it. All along my mouse was working just fine. After the installation was complete, when I rebooted the machine still mouse was fine. Now finally after I give the user ID and password fpr login, the mouse pointer just disappeared!!!
Well, the mouse still works. When I move the mouse the items get highlighted. When I double click the highlighted item, it opens the application. The scroll button is working fine. but.... The mouse pointer is not being displayed!!!
I tried changing the mouse pointer, still the problem persists. Frustrated, Ire installed it. Still the same old story... Can't see my mouse pointer. 
I'm using Athlon 64- bit processor (3000+) with 512MB of RAM, MSI Motherboard and I'm using Logitech Scroll Mouse....
Any help in finding my Mouse pointer will be appreciated... |

On KDE, you can try to open kcontrol and change the default pointer. That should fix it. xboxrulz

Well xboxrulz, I have already tried that. Still no change. I was using GNOME first. After struggling for some time, I switched to KDE. But the problem persisted. I did change the mouse pointer settings, still no use.... The joke is the busy pointer gets displayed!!! (That was displayed when I double clicked on an item and the application was yet to open...) I'm really puzzled. While booting up, till the login screen comes, the mouse pointer will be very much present. But soon after the Login screen appears, the mouse pointer disappears!

Try to delete whole user home directory, then create it from scratch. If problem was in some config, this should help.

yes, ignite's way usually solves these types of problem, however, you'll lose all your settings by doing so. xboxrulz

I have the exact same problem - losing the mouse pointer after installing Core 6 on a new Athlon 64X2 3800+ and Logitech 3 button mouse. I tried installing Core 5 and never saw the pointer. At least with Core 6 I have a pointer at first. X windows seems to be freaky and has locked up my machine a couple of times. Do you still have the problem?

Have you ever used any other Distro's? If so have you ever had any problems. Such a problem really happens due to KDE or GNOME (in your case). Is the light under your mouse working or is it ball type? Can you login by using the tab+enter key? Get back to me on those, i have helped people before with such problems but that was because the system did not detect the firmware of the mouse.

It's the onboard (ASUS M2NPV-VM) video, an NVIDIA GeFoorce 6160 GPU. I found a workaround: I boot to runlevel 3 then start x. It works fine, and I haven't lost a pointer since. Has anybody found a work-around for the kernel bug that prevents kmod-nvidia from being installed? If any of you have this mobo, do you have sound?

I tried ubuntu at university, and really liked it so I ordered a free CD and I received the 7.10 version. I must say it's better than windows, I feel very secure using linux and I love to learn new stuff that will help me on my computer engineering career, as I aim for open source software, so its the best thing I could have done. I'd recommend ubuntu!! Ubuntu_________________ I'm very sorry, I posted in the wrong place, I must have clicked on another thread.

Errors When Installing/booting
From Live CD and actual installation (13) On my new computer, I decided to install Linux as I need it for development purposes. Wanting to
take a shortcut, I tried using Wubi, the Windows-based Ubuntu Installer. Everything went fine as it
installed. I restarted the system to find revalidation errors when booting. It kept on repeating
the same thing over and over so I thought that the Wubi installation was corrupted or otherwise
damaged. I downloaded Ubuntu 8.04 and burnt it onto a CD-R and tried that instead. I couldn't
even boot into the Live CD session because the same error came up. It looked like this: ....

Setting Up Fedora Core For Web Hosting

With Wubi The Hard Drive Does Not Have To Be Repartitioned Before The Ubuntu Installation
(2) Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows that lets you install and uninstall Ubuntu from a Windows
desktop. Wubi adds an entry to the Windows boot menu which allows you to run Linux. Ubuntu is
installed within a file in the Windows file system (a loopmounted partition), this file is seen by
Ubuntu as a real hard disk. That way the hard drive does not have to be repartitioned before the
Ubuntu installation. The resulting Ubuntu installation is a "real" Linux system, not just a virtual
machine. Wubi makes it easy for Linux newbies to play around with Ubuntu. http://wubi-i....
