Hi,
If you are not "afraid" of proprietary drivers you can try the NVIDIA driver
from SL contrib:
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/51/i386/contrib/video/
Install nvidia-x11-drv and dkms. dkms (Dynamic Kernel Module Support) will take care that the nvidia kernel
module is rebuilt after a kernel update.
Configure the nvidia driver with /usr/bin/nvidia-settings and not with
system-config-display.

Hello,
after a fresh SL5.1 install on a Dell Optiplex 740
I have no mouse pointer which is very annoying :)
It was there during the install and during the boot process.
Also, I was not able to get a better resolution than 800x600
on a 1600x1200 flat panel screen with the "nv" driver
