Hello!
I bought motherboard Gigabyte GA-K8N51PVMT-9 on chipset GeForce 6150 and installed FC5. I can't see cursor in X. When computer loading, and rhgb show the progress of loading, I see cursor and everything OK. When computer is loaded and X started, there is no viewable cursor on the screen. I move mouse, all necessary menus etc are highlighted, but no cursor. I update kernel and xorg - result the same. I installed nvidia drivers for video from livna - but result the same - no cursor. What shall I do?
With best regard, Peter (Zebar) Astakhov

This is very well known; a bugzilla search for "nvidia cursor" turns up useful bugs and the solution: place
Option "HWCursor" "off"
in the "Device" section of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

Similar problem: Fedora 6 --> right after udev loads, the screen goes blank, and then the monitor flashes a "Video Mode Not Supported" box. Fixed by renaming /ext/X11/xorg.conf to something else, so that X uses its defaults (but max resolution is only 800 x 600). However, after an auto-update of the kernel, the mouse cursor disappeared.
I put /etc/X11/xorg.conf back, but got the "Video Mode Not Supported" problem again, so I couldn't use your fix.
However, by just removing the DefaultDepth line in Section "Screen" within /etc/X11/xorg.conf I got back my X screen AND my mouse cursor, and the max resolution is 1600 x 1200!
