Display invisible mouse pointer in Fedora Core 10

I have recently installed fedora core 10 on a P4 machine in the office. During the installation, I have noticed that the mouse pointer is not showing. After the successful installation, still the mouse pointer is not showing. So in order to solve the problem, i followed this steps:

1. Open Terminal
2. become root by
- su
3. run the following command:
- yum install system-config-display
4. after installing system-config-display, enable it by:
- system-config-display
5. edit the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf
6. Add the following, under the "Section Device"
Option "HWCursor" "off"
Option "SWCursor" "on"
7. Reboot your system (ctl - alt - backspace) and hopefully you will have your mouse pointer now...
