Hmm, this is weird. After sucessfully installing Gnome 3.2, I made these
observations:

Now I do not "see" the mouse cursor anymore. The mouse cursor is "just
invisible", but it is still there. But it is not rendered anymore, not
in kdm, and not in gdm. If I start X via "startx" as root (then twm is
used), I see a mouse cursor, but it is corrupted. If I log into
KDE/Gnome by using kdm or gdm, and I move the invisible mouse around, I
see some animations happening on the screen.

Unfortunately, there are still lots of glitches in KDE as well as in
Gnome 3.2. I see lots of artifacts. Even in twm (plain startx) things
are not rendered 100% correctly. However, if I look at KDE now, things
seem to be worse than a few hours ago before I installed Gnome and
before I lost my mouse cursor. Any idea whats going on here?

I'm really confused because I do not see the point why or when the mouse
cursor disappeared. I still do not use a xorg.conf, the kernel is the
same, and the kernel command line is the same. I remember that
installing gnome required some changes regarding the use-flags of my
Gentoo-based box, but if I look at the list of installed and reinstalled
packets I do not see a candidate for this behavior.

Fiddeling with the HWCursor-Option in a xorg.conf didn't work either.

I'm using the newest mesa, libdrm and xf86-video-ati.

Any ideas?
Florian
