[techtalk] disappearing mouse!!

[I guess I'm an underwater thing]

Hi folks -
I'm new to the list, but an old timer in the unix world (solaris atleast).

I recently installed linux to set up a web server, and when I changed the
monitor resolution, I lost my mouse cursor!  I've tried reconfiguring
everything, but to no avail.  I'm mouseless and one step short of
completely reinstalling the OS.

Anyone seen this behavior before?  

Heeeeeeelp,
