That might be possible to have a little cursor for the mouse.
like in dos, we had to install hte mouse drivers with the floppy bootable and that was possible. But now, in linux ... hmm ?

I think you want 'gpm'.

Just for the console.

gpm -t imps2 -m /dev/input/mice (for a PS2 mouse)

/etc/init.d/gpm restart
