    Angry [SOLVED] Invisible mouse plese help

    My mouse cursor is invisible I know its still there cause I can still highlight things but I gotta kinda guess where the mouse is. When I remote desktop my computer I can see the mouse but it remains invisible on the host computer under gnome as well as kde. Its obviously some type of software/configuration issue can anyone please help! I have an nvidia card that I had to install without gui cause it wouldn't work innately with my monitor. Its an Nvidia 7950 gt. here is the url if you need more specs

    Found the answer! It was in my xorg.conf file. Under the "Device" Section I had to add 'Option "HWCursor" "Off"'. Here is my xorg.conf file with the only part I had to add bolded
