I’ve just discovered that when intalling Fedora 10 on some computer causes this problem. Problem start from instalation: there is no pointer for mouse in Anaconda and further in the system. It is a little bit dificult but install system with keaboard only, then when system installed and running do the following steps to fix this issue:
# yum install system-config-display
Open system-config-display and just press “OK” button. It will generate xorg.conf file in /etc/X11.
Then open /etc/X11/xorg.conf and in section “Device” add following two lines
Option "HWCursor" "off" Option "SWcursor" "True"
Save file and restart your X server. It have to work now.

Thanks for the post, fixed the problem for me. I thought it was really weird that mouse cursor doesn’t show up…

It didn’t work for me. I had to update FC 10 (there were many related updates) with ~1GB downloads and then it started working.

Thanks for this post! Fixed it for me as well.
I am running Fedora 10 on a VIA EPIA LN10000 and got a little worried here, but you saved my day.
Thanx!
