In order the help the OP since I apparently deleted this thread when it
started, the GNOME page looks reasonably accurate.  I do not have AMD
hardware so I cannot comment on that section.

The mouse cursor theme can be changed through the Tweaks GUI, but that
only takes effect once GNOME Shell actually starts and doesn't affect
gdm, as I understand it.

I've been a Debian user and member of this list for quite a long time,
since the late 1990s at least.  In all that time I don't recall the
Debian Project approaching this list requesting our assistance in
updating/maintaining the Wiki.  This Wiki is semi-private in that
editing is not open to just everyone but may only be done through an account
(apparently I have one and now have to figure out how to reset my
password).

The Wiki front page is rather adamant that addition of content to the
Wiki by everyone is welcome and desired.  In particular solutions are
provided on this list that should make it onto the Wiki.  I'm not
volunteering for that "job" but it is something we might all consider in
the future.
