At times after installing Fedora on a PC running AMD processor with a motherboard that has onboard NVIDIA graphics the mouse pointer goes invisible when you boot up for the first time and subsequent times.
Yeah its kinda wiered because it was visible all the time when you were installing the OS.
So here's a quickfix to this problem on how to bring your mouse pointer back. You'll have to manage doing all this with the invisible mouse pointer or the keyboard itself
Quickfix:
Follow the first seven steps if you cannnot access My computer on Desktop.
1. Click on "Applications"
2. Go to "System Tools"
3. Click on "Terminal"
4. Type "su -" and hit enter
5. Enter your password
6. Type "nautilus --no-desktop" hit enter
7. Click on "Places"
If My Computer is visible, continue from here..
8. Click on "Computer"
9. Click on "Filesystem"
10. Click on the folder named "etc"
11. Click on the folder named "X11"
12. Click on the file named "xorg.conf"
Scroll down on the page to the posted section:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nv"
EndSection
Under the "Driver" line type exactly the following in bold text:
Option "HWCursor" "off"
Click "Save"
It should look like this now
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nv"
Option "HWCursor" "off"
EndSection
You're done, now restart the machine and the mouse pointer should be visible.
Happy Clicking..
