Maybe you graphic card supports a hardware mouse cursor, but that does
not work properly. Can you please look in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
whether there is a line with "SWcursor"? You can try to disable the
hardware cursor by adding/changing

   Option "SWcursor" "true" 

in the "Device" section that is your graphics card.

Please report back the results, then we can see how to fix this.

Thanks,

Martin
