Package changes to system since last reboot
In mcc, disabled "Use hardware accelerated mouse pointer" which added:
Option "SWCursor"
to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and rebooted.
I now have visible cursor. xorg.conf still contains "SWCursor"; but mcc still shows:
[x] Use hardware accelerated mouse pointer
Something appears out of sync...
This is most likely a duplicate of bug 15623, which was only reported by users with KDM/KDE @ Pierre I think you mentioned some things here that no one mentioned yet, feel free to add that to bug 15623 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 15623 *** Status:

RESOLVED Interesting.... brand new Dell Inspiron 3558 arrived today, installed mga5 and have no mouse cursor. Login and braille my way to: a) turn off mouse HW accel b) new session and surprise, I have a mouse cursor on the second session. Switch user and select original user --> no mouse cursor. Unable to see any mouse activity; but did try Windows+Ctrl keys which give the mouse finder, allowing me to see mouse cursor location. Added a 3rd user which works... So... it appears the mouse is not visible on :0 but works on :1 & :2... Re-opening this bug because the information about the problem is more concise. Status:

mageia Right. Stating the now obvious for those looking for any solution: Adding Option "SWCursor" to /etc/X11/xorg.conf is a workaround. Since displays :1 & :2 work, it appears HW accel triggers this bug on display:0 which is what most users limit themselves to...

kde Hi Pierre, Thank you for having taken the needed time to report this issue! We regret if this issue didn't get fixed. Closing as OLD, because Mageia 5 has officially reached its End of Life on December 31st, 2017 https://blog.mageia.org/en/2017/11/07/mageia-5-eol-postponed/ It only continued to get important security updates since then, but non-security bugs have no chance of still getting fixed.
