Missing mouse cursor in FC5-x86-64 installation.

[Gordon Gallup]

Thanks for the response.  I have looked into /etc/X11/xorg.conf and
there is nothing there that obviously refers to a hardware cursor.
Does this have anything to do with "Protocol" "IMPS/2" rather than
"auto"?  Or, is this set somewhere else entirely?
