FC5 mouse problem

[gebitan]

hello, I am rookie in the linux world. tried to install the FC5 today. Everything seemed ok. after reboot, login using the accout created in the installation process, saw the fedora desktop, but I couldn't see the arrow of my mouse. I could right-click my mouse to see the menu popped up, but just couldn't see where is my mouse. Anyone can help? thx.

may I ask how could I add the line to xorg.conf after i logged in w/o mouse cursor. thx.

quote ************************************************** *******
Add the following line to the DEVICE section of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Code:
Option "SWCursor" "on"

use your keyboard, just coz theres no cursor doesnt mean theres no mouse

[wintersm]

try the key combination CTRL ALT F1
that will swap you to a text terminal, where you can login (as root) and use something like vi or joe to edit..

The SWCursor method doesn't work for me. I used another method mentioned in http://forums.fedoraforum.org/forum...highlight=mouse which delete all rhgb in /etc/grub.conf file.
