Mouse pointer missing 7.3 KDE 2.

Hey all... I had to re-install 7.3 and all, mostly because I set DSL up wrong, well I got the dsl going and can access the internet. So I did a update the system through yast2. As far as I can tell everything went ok during the update. But when I rebooted my SUB (Kensington) mouse pointer became a block of white. It still works but it is annoying. When I did a search on what might have gone wrong, it said I had to add 'Option sw_' under device so I did, and no change. I also updated the drivers for my graphics card (tnt nvidia) but still no pointer.. Any ideas????? Adolph & Sharon Weidanz S/V Time To Paws 78 43' Endeavour
