I have Googled for nVIDIA and found not much. Tried nVIDIA, Linux

It took me about two minutes to find the reference.
The solution is to add the line
Option "HWCursor" "false"
to the section of xorg.conf that defines the video card.
I don't know whether that works, though. I'm just going to test it.
Meanwhile, as an extreme kludge, keep moving the mouse as you login. I
find that that works.
It took me about 2 minutes to find the place in xorg.conf which is
real short in this computer and added the proper words 8-)
Tomorrow I should have the big RAM cards and they will go in with
this hard drive and with luck it will work. Assuming the best I will
then be on the new computer with this F7. I will then order a SATA hard
drive and learn if dd will let me copy this F7 complete to the new hard
drive. That is the long range plan. Then the new computer will be New :-)
Uh, "dd" won't give you a functional system. It will perform a byte-
for-byte copy and unless the source and target disks are identical, will
absolutely NOT work. You will need to run a "ghost"-like program to do
that or boot the old disk, partition the new disk the way you want and
do something really nasty like "cp -a" from the top level of each
partition of the old disk to the corresponding partition on the new.

Thanks. I have used cp -a many times before and it always worked. I
will forget dd and keep using cp -a.
