F20 cursor invisible

[Beartooth]

	I've just done fedup --network 20 (from F 18), and watched a lot 
of the boot messages. There were warnings in at least a couple of places, 
but that was as much as I was able to read. However, when I rebooted, all 
seemed well except for a disaster to the mouse cursor.

	The screen does have a cursor, and the mouse does move it. I can 
tell that much because some things change their appearance, enabling me 
to tell the mouse cursor is there; and, thanks be to all the inventors of 
Linux, I do have a nice big pair of eyes on both my vertical and my 
horizontal panel. Also, the trick with the control key is set.

	For some reason, I always have great difficulty discovering the 
way to make any adjustments to the cursor; but without a visible cursor 
to mouse around with, I can't find it at all. I did find a couple places 
that recognized the cursor is supposed to be size 48; but in fact it's so 
tiny that only dumb luck alone would let me spot it without those eyes -- 
and they're not exactly precise, either (nor meant to be, I imagine).

	My CLI-foo is nowhere near adequate to do much of anything by 
itself. What can I do to get the cursor back to a nice big discoverable 
size?  I use 48 because it's the biggest. And while we're at it, how do I 
get to a good color (such as red or yellow) that will stand out against 
most backgrounds??
