I've not had any problems with mice in a long time.  I think the last time was on
RHELv4 when using the nVidia drivers.  I found that using xinput and futzing with the
"Device Accel" properties fixed things for me.  YMMV.

I've not had much problem with finding a cursor.  I use KDE and stick with a pretty
basic theme where most of the background contrasts greatly with the cursor.  I also
use a cursor theme that is larger than the default.
