[techtalk] disappearing mouse!!

[FeO]

Actually, I've had that sort of problem with Slackware 7.1.  Accidentally 
configuring for the wrong resolution caused no problems with my screen at 
all, but then my mouse cursor vanished completely unless I was moving the 
mouse, in which case it jumped seemingly randomly from one part of the 
screen to another.  Took me days to figure out that it wasn't a problem 
with my mouse but with the screen settings.
