The glaringly obvious: Have you checked the Control
Center to be sure
Didn't try control center's mouse section, as too hard to navigate without
mouse cursor. Also, I started tdm, and there was no cursor in it either,
pointing to a more fundamental problem.
you're using a mouse cursor theme that exists on
the system?
I compared the OP machine to a slightly newer machine's Jessie. The process
suggested suggested adding hicolor or adwaita icon themes might make a
difference, but it didn't.
Does it work in other DEs?
Other than the one I mentioned in OP that also does not work, no other are
installed.
