[OE-core] Where's my X cursor?

[Gary Thomas]

I'm having troubles with the latest Xorg server.  I have a system
which has a small display (320x240) with a touch screen.  When I
bring up X, there is no mouse pointer, even if my touch screen is
disabled [in the kernel] and I have a "normal" (USB) mouse attached.

I have a second system which is very similar, but it has a larger
display (800x600) and everything works as expected.

Any ideas?

Note: I know in times past, X could have a larger virtual display
than the physical one and you could pan around.  Is this still
possible?  How?

Thanks

n.b. this is all preliminary to finding another problem; my touch
screen works fine using SDL and QT, but not X.  If I could just
see the mouse pointer, maybe I could get a clue why.
