No cursor in redhat 7 X

    I ve just install 7.0 after a bad 6.1 disaster
( if  rpm asks you if your sure  you want to ignore and proceed , be
sure)

I fired up X and Gnome started up but withot a cursor. the cursor is
there
being that I can roll over buttons and they hi light but no physical
visable
cursor. I dont know if this has anything to do with it but, I can't
startKDE
any help would be appreciated--

 
 
 

1. New HOWTO....HOWTO-Hose-RedHat-Installation (help!)

Boy, my early experiences with ELF format and RedHat's RPM format
hasn't been positive.  I wanted to upgrade my shiny new Linux
installation (the GCC stuff), so I ran 'rpm -U' on the following rpm
packages:
gcc-2.7.2-1.i386.rpm
libc-static-5.2.18-1.i386.rpm
libc-profile-5.2.18-1.i386.rpm
libc-include-5.2.18-1.i386.rpm
libc-devel-5.2.18-1.i386.rpm
libc-5.2.18-1.i386.rpm

(In that order, I believe)

Anyway, rebooting now gives me:

/sbin/getty: can't load library libtermcap.so.2

repeatedly.  No bootup :-(

Am I doing something wrong, or am I putting entirely too much trust in
the RPM utility?

Any suggestions on how to fix?
