Mouse cursor stick with top-left corner

I have fresh new installation of Arch Linux.

I've just installed X and some other basic software including lightdm and dwm.

And when X starts (with lightdm for example or after new dwm session is started) I find mouse working but cursor sticking with top-left corner.

So cursor always in one position: top-left.

But when I move mouse invisible actual cursor is moving and I can press buttons, select text and etc. Moreover visible cursor (which is at top-left corner) changes its look depends of above what is actual invisible cursor. It changes from arrow to line segment if I positioned cursor at text area.

I've tried several mice: USB and PS/2. Same result. Pacman upgrade and etc doesn't help.

Please point me where to look.

P.S.
I have two videocards (integrated Intel and discrete NVIDIA). Probably some conflict. Display (and therefore Xorg) connected to discrete one.

Re: Mouse cursor stick with top-left corner

Miracle!

I've installed proprioretary `nvidia` driver and mouse is fully working now.

So yes. Reason was somewhere in video drivers.
