I have experienced  the mouse pointer problem. are you using nVidia 
card? if so, I solved it by modifiing the /etc/X11/xorg.conf  file.
Under-- Section "Device"
Option "HWCursor" "Off"

after that mine looks like

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Videocard0"
        Driver      "nv"
        VendorName  "Videocard vendor"
        BoardName   "nVidia Corporation C51 PCI Express Bridge"
        Option      "HWCursor" "off"
EndSection
