Hello,
I installed elementary OS 7 but i have No Mouse cursor. My GPU is a 7900 xtx. Login and logout wont Help. Ctrl+ alt F2 and Back to desktop also wont Help.
Hopefully some can Help me. Greetings and thanks!
Im no expert, but… Make sure your os is updated. If you have a wireless mouse try using it with the cable. Maybe download mouse drivers via terminal? Also mandatory have you tried turning your PC off and on again?
Try a different mouse. Try your mouse on a different computer.
In the same vein, often times changing the port the mouse is connected to fixes it for me.
Execute “sudo dmesg | grep -i mouse” in a terminal and get back to us

Ok, it’s not your mouse, it’s something else, probably a rendering issue. Can I make a wild guess? Are you on X11? In that case try this:
Add this
Section "Device"
Identifier "AMD"
Driver "amdgpu"
Option "SWCursor" "True"
Option "VariableRefresh" "True"
EndSection
to a new file called /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-amdgpu.conf and reboot.
AMD GPUs sometimes have this wild random bug with hardware cursor rendering.
Be aware, that you might get some side effects, like flickering buttons when hovering with the mouse.
