Some drivers offer a hardware or software generated cursor. Depending on 
which driver you're using, it might be worth setting the appropriate 
option in xorg.conf. Unless it's a 3rd party driver, there's usually a 
man page for it. For example, for the nouveau driver


        Option "HWCursor" "boolean"
               Enable or disable the HW cursor.  Default: on.


Otherwise could it be that you've had custom cursors installed in the 
past any maybe they aren't installed/available anymore?
