installing dmz-cursor-theme and:

Code: Select all

# update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme
solved this problem.

you have two choices:

1) Install a different mouse cursor theme that provides cursors of different colors. Many can be found at gnome-look.org. See X11 Mouse Themes category.

2) Create your own cursor, or possibly edit an existing mouse theme with the cursor editor plugin for GIMP. Google search should locate this plugin. I have never used it, but I know it exists.
