I used to have the same problem. In my case it was with Fvwm config file, not with Gentoo or Fvwm installation. Check your config for a line that says something like 'CursorStyle ROOT top_left_arrow'. The 'top_left_arrow' is probably the problem, your cursor set might not have such a cursor (in my case, there is a symbolic link top_left_arrow -> left_ptr but for some reason it doesn't work here). ls -l <your-cursor-directory> to find out. In my case, this works perfectly: CursorStyle DEFAULT left_ptr CursorStyle ROOT left_ptr CursorStyle MENU left_ptr
