it's easy to lose the cursor when there's so much display real- estate. It's been my experience for years that xeyes really helps find and keep track of the trackball pointer's location.
It doesn't help when things blank the mouse cursor, either. When VLC is playing a video file it'll blank the cursor, and the cursor can stay blanked even when you move it away from the video playback area. Sometimes you have to madly mouse all over the table trying to get the mouse cursor to re-appear.
I think I'll set up xeyes, too.
