I found the cursor.

Quote:
[root@kindle /etc]# grep -ri cursor *
upstart/firsttime:# Symlink the xorg cursor to the empty one
upstart/firsttime:[ ! -L /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/cursor.pcf ] && \
upstart/firsttime: mount_rw && (f_log I firsttime cursor "Linking Xorg cursor" && \
upstart/firsttime: ln -sf /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/emptycursor.pcf \
upstart/firsttime: /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/cursor.pcf)
I copied my debians /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/cursor.pcf.gz to <kindle>/mnt/us/cursor, and ungzipped it.
Then I ran
Quote:
mntroot rw
ln -sfn /mnt/us/cursor/cursor.pcf /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/cursor.pcf
restart x
And now the cursor shows up, so if your touch digitizer is dead, you can use a real mouse!

Edit: but it doesn't draw when you move it, only when you click, rats.

I've got a secod script that can be run with it - that on keypress will refresh the screen, showing the cursor but this requires a keyboard/mouse combo like I have.
