In the "secondlife" wrapper script, make sure that export LL_ATI_MOUSE_CURSOR_BUG=x is commented out (it normally is by default). This setting is to work around a hardware bug in some ATI Mobility Radeon GPUs (such as Mobility Radeon 9600/9700) which can crash the whole computer under Linux when the hardware mouse cursor is changed while the GPU is 100% loaded. Enabling this work around means that the mouse cursor is not changed any more by the viewer (alas, crashes can still happen when the window manager changes the cursor, for example when moving the cursor over the border of the viewer window).
