I just installed SL 5.2. If I bring it up with the graphical login screen (i.e. 
if runlevel 5 is set in /etc/inittab) then I can't see the mouse pointer. The 
mouse still works because I can select things from the menus at the top of the 
screen if I happen to move the mouse to the right place (i.e. move it around 
until something gets highlighted). The only way I can get a properly working 
mouse is to edit /etc/inittab to start in runlevel 3, reboot, login at the 
console, and then run startx. But if I terminate X (Ctrl-Alt-Backspace) and 
then run startx again, the mouse pointer once again becomes invisible. If 
anyone can tell me what is causing this behavior and how to fix it I would very 
much appreciate the help.

Tom
