No mouse Pointer in Gnome????

Finlay · 03-29-2003, 02:24 AM

I have Slack 8.1 full install.
Configured Xwindows, startx, get into Gnome and my mouse has no pointer. I can move it around and i know it is there by highlighting things with it.

Anyone know how i can get the pointer to show up?

Thanks,

Ensure gpm isn't running.

ps aux | grep gpm

gpm loads on boot, it is running
do i need to disable it?
if so how?
thanks

i killed the gpm process than ran startx, same thing, no mouse pointer.
