I had this with an NVidia chipset (don't recall the exact chipset right now).

I had to add a SWCursor option to prevent cursor going invisible from time to time under Lenny. Once it went invisible the X server would need to be restarted to recover it. The cursor was just invisible - it always worked perfectly if only you could guess where it was.

This is an example from xorg.conf:

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Configured Video Device"
        Driver "Vesa"
        Option "SWCursor" "yes"
EndSection

Cheers,

Rob
