Mouse pointer not visible in FC7


I installed FC7 on my HP dv2201 laptop with Synaptics touch pad and NVIDIA Geforce 6150. Everything works fyn but the mouse pointer is invisible.

My X server recognises the synaptics pad, the pad works but am unable to see the pointer.

my xorg.conf has the following for synaptics

Identifier "Synaptics"
Driver "Synaptics"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"

Is there any other option I need to include so that I can view mouse pointer?

thanks,
Rao

Add the following line in red to the device section of your xorg.conf.
Code:
Section"Device"
	Identifier  "Videocard0"
	Driver      "nv"
	VendorName  "Videocard vendor"
	BoardName   "nVidia Corporation C51 PCI Express Bridge"
	## See RedHat Bug #182517
	Option      "HWCursor" "off"
	EndSection
