Probably the hardware mouse pointer issue. Edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
file and make sure you have the following in it:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nv" (or whatever driver you're using)
Option "HWCursor" "off" <<---That's the important bit
EndSection
Log out and let X restart. Your pointer should be back.
