No mouse pointer with LTSP-T1420 Thin Client

[Peter Scheie]

I used to run into this on a server a few releases back.  You might try building 
an xorg.conf file for this client and include this line in it in the Device 
section for the videocard:

option "HWCursor" "0"

This fixed it for me; it was a known bug in xorg at the time. YMMV.

However, I am testing K12Linux's LTSP5 implementation and have discovered that my mouse pointer does not work.  Although, I should really say the mouse pointer does not show up (it's invisible).  If I move the mouse to the far left corner of the screen (by feel.. not by sight mind you) it will highlight the Preferance box and I can click to bring it up.  So, that means the mouse is technically working... so why can't I see it?  I have tested an older LTSP-170DVI terminal and it works perfectly, so this problem is terminal specific.  Also, I have tried Debian's, openSUSE's, and Ubuntu's LTSP5 implementations and they all work just fine.  (Ironically, K12Linux is my favorite.. and fastest so far).  Any ideas how to fix this?
