  It's not a bug in the sense of something present not working, it is that
  something that should be there just isn't.  There is no way to control
  the cursor's size or shape.  Because of another problem in resolutions,
  where all resolutions up to 1440x900 have the same pixel size on my
  notebook, so just picking a lower resolution only means a smaller area
  of the screen is employed, going up to 1440x900 just means a very small
  mouse pointer is displayed, and under mouse settings, there is no way to
  adjust this.  There are only adjustments for touchpad sensitivity and
  speed, and whether pauses over the touchpad count as mouse clicks or
  not.  To me, it seems rather obvious that the apparent mouse size should
  be nearly the same at any screen resolution.  Maybe they thought that
  all monitors automatically readjust their images to cover the whole
  screen surface, but this Toshiba notebook seems to go by a different set
  of rules, and the pixel element factor seems to be central to the way it
  adjust resolutions.  Low resolutions is shown smaller, and high
  resolutions are shown bigger.  And if my notebook is effected, many
  others should be as well, since this is a Toshiba Satellite model.
  
  I think the ideal solution is to be able to either hold to a constant
  pixel size and change the apparent size of the image within (sort of a
  zoom in/zoom out approach), so that I can go to 1440x900 to cover the
  whole screen but then view just what I should see in a 800x600 view it
  that were my choice, or to stick with the other method, of setting new
  pixel sizes by instructions to the video card, on the basies that it
  will then adjust voltages and timing accordlingly.  I mean the old
  method was great for analog monitors, but the digital approach is more
  to the zooming method using software.  Being able to use either mode
  would likely suit most people.
