Mouse pointer hidden [new installation]

Hello to all, first of all sorry for my english , I will  try to explain as better I can.

after lot of difficulties (see my previus post), I'm close to finish my installation of archlinux

I have installed KDE with Xorg and nouveu driver, but I don't know why my mouse pointer is invisible also by:

by chaging mouse theme
by installing a new mouse theme

one thing is strange, if I try to open some windows I can see a little icon close to the invisible pointer
honestly I don't know what I should post for this issue
could you tell me which command/log I have to poste here for fix this issue?

tks a lot

Luca

You are right Is Little bit difficult ti image something invisible ,

Do you know the Little icon that happear when you Need to open a software like Firefox?

Which host can i use to share the movie?

Are you using xf86-video-nouveau? Check whether you can reproduce without that, otherwise if you want to continue using xf86-video-nouveau you could try to disable the HW cursor with e.g.

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nouveau.conf

Section "OutputClass"
      Identifier "nouveau"
      MatchDriver "nouveau"
      Driver "nouveau"
      Option "HWCursor" "off"
EndSection
