Did you set your cursor in your .Xdefaults file?

Re: [Solved] annoying cursor on boot

just try to add this line to .Xdefaults file in your home directory:
Xcursor.theme: Jimmac
Replace jimmac with your own cursor theme name

You could've just searched "cursor" on the wiki and read this.

Re: [Solved] annoying cursor on boot

i dont have a .xdefaults file in my home  dir

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xdefaults

The file ~/.Xdefaults does not exist by default. To create it, open a terminal and type the following as a normal user:

$ touch ~/.Xdefaults

Being a plain-text file, you can edit your ~/.Xdefaults file with the text editor of your choice.
