Just to clarify, this isn't a bug with LTSP.  It is a bug in FC5 from what I
read.  So I assume that is out of Jim and Eric's control.  Anyhow if anyone
has the misfortune of loading FC5 on one of these machines, the following fix
works really well.

vi /etc/xorg.conf

scroll to Section "Device"

add the following line:

Option "HWCursor"  "off"

Save the file and reboot.
