From: Dennis G. Wicks on 6 May 2008 13:30 Greetings; Search as I may I can not find how to do this. I am running gnome and a hi-res screen. My cursor and mouse pointer are too small to see easily on the screen. How do I make them bigger? Many TIA!

Then per per other response from Manu: > update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme Chose a couple different ones and again nothing changed. Again I could find nothing in Gnome that allowed me to change cursors or mouse pointers. Is there something else I need to do? Thanks!
