Ravi, you may try this :
1.As I suppose you can get into a terminal/console, type "su" (without
the quotes) to become root.
2.Open a text editor of your choice (I prefer "Midnight Commander - type
"mc").
3.Open the file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and scroll to this section :
# **********************************************************************
# Graphics device section
# **********************************************************************
Section "Device"
Identifier "Generic VGA"
Driver "vga"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Trident CyberBlade (generic)"
VendorName "Unknown"
BoardName "Unknown"
Driver "trident"
# VideoRam 4096
# Clock lines
# Uncomment following option if you see a big white block
# instead of the cursor!
Option "sw_cursor"
Option "DPMS" "on"
EndSection
#
*************************************************************************
Here, you'll probably see a #-mark in front of the Option "sw_cursor" -
Remove it !
4. Save the file and quit the editor.
5. Logout or kill the X-server (Ctrl+Alt+Backspace).
6. Login again, and you're done - I think.
