Mouse on Proxmox with xfce4

[Anon0ne]

Hello,

I have a PowerEdge R410 that I would like to be able to use desktop environment to connect to console and use as I see fit. I am having an issue with the cursor, the mouse works and input is working but the cursor is not showing up.

I have tried everything on Google, the nomodeset option; the SWcursor in some of the configurations and more... no luck thus far. Any other options or workarounds people have done?

It's a PowerEdge R410

I tried MATE and i tried XFCE4 on the PowerEdge R410. It didn't make a difference, both environments are missing the mouse cursor.
