I put this on the debian-laptop list but got no response. Have tried the Debian support pages but found no help there. I was advised to try this list by Tapio Lehtonen.

Cursor is a three quarter inch square of vertical lines or hash in both GUI and in console. . Top left corner of square is the point which works but is very hard on the eyes. "gpm" is installed Square cursor in KDE and GNOME and Konqueror and all GUI stuff. Same kind of cursor on the console The GUI desktop peripheral setup is of no help Computer has built in mouse and I use an external PS/2 mouse. Either/or both work identically bad!! Don't think it is a hardware problem. Have not had this problem with RH 9 or Mandrake 9.0 Question: How to set up mouse with small arrow cursor on either/or both mice?? How get "gpmconfig" if necessary? Searched, not found!
