Re: invisible cursor on laptop
Is your system up-to-date? Which kernel version etc. are you using.

Re: invisible cursor on laptop
I had something like that happen to me too. Do you have your synaptics touchpad driver installed and configured? http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchpad_Synaptics

Re: invisible cursor on laptop
There was a bug with earlier versions of 2.6.35. Are you sure you did a "pacman -Syu" with an up-to-date mirror? What does "pacman -Qi kernel26" show?

Re: invisible cursor on laptop
That is another problem to do with your mirrors or network. xf86-video-fbdev-0.4.2-2-i686.pkg.tar.xz is on the mirrors.
