Re: mouse pointer does not show

Guys,
I've installed debian "woody" on my computer but I am experiencing a
weird problem.
The mouse pointer does not show on the screen. I can say that it's
been working, in the sense what if I move the mouse randomly, I can
see the different buttons changing colors. But I cannot see where the
mouse pointer is.
This is sad. :)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've playing around with the
configuration to no avail. :-(
TIA,

Are you running gpm (the console (non-X) mouse driver)? If so, get that
set up with the proper mouse location and protocol, and set it to repeat
as "raw", then set up X to use the same protocol, but use "gpmdata" as
the location.
If you're not running gpm, it's a matter of getting the proper protocol.
You can play with this by running "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86" (or
is it "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-common"? -- one or the other).
The protocol and location depends on what type of mouse you have. Let us
know that detail, and we might can guide you a bit further.
