Mouse cursor invisible?

This puzzles me: After ftp-installing SuSE 7.3 and fighting my way through sax, I don't get a visible mouse cursor. Menus and mouse buttons work fine. IMPS/2, /dev/psaux PII 350, Matrox G200 PCI, xfree_svga [ I vaguely remember having had a similar problem before, but not the cause or fix. ] The sax configuration was 'strange' in that I believe the card and display weren't properly detected, so there's some potential for me having made a mess of it, but what?
