Did you manage to use the 'nv' driver instead? I couldn't get the
GeForce3 to work with that.

It's obviously not happy. :o)
I've had similar problems on a TNT2, GeForce2 MX, and GeForce3 when using
nVidia's drivers. When the mouse disappears you can switch to a console
(Ctrl-Alt-F2) then back (Alt-F7) and the mouse comes back. This is
especially useful if the cursor stops responding comletely.
I think we're just stuck until nVidia writes a good driver or releases the
code so the XFree86 guys can fix it.
