This may be a basic question that's already been covered, but is X working well in all other respects? From other descriptions of square cursors in other posts it sounds like you may have a video problem instead of just a mouse problem.Can anyone help????My cursor is not working. Sometimes I have a one square inch white cursor and some times I don't. Note the confi files below for gpm.conf and XF86Config. At the recommendation of someone I commetted out the lines in XF86Config and got the big cursor. But then it went away when I re-entered X. I am currently using a newly acquired PS/2 generic mouse plugged into the PS/2 port. My previous and preferred mouse that would not work is a Kensington 4 button track ball (Expert Mouse). Does any one have conf files for the Kensington Expert Mouse????I like the Debian approach but I've been at this for two months.
Below is the conf I currently have that worked thanks to you. Note the lines that I commettedout. Thanks! John.
