RHGB is supposed to use the same xorg.conf as your x server... 
It sounds like the mouse pointer disappears when the X server exists which 
happens with quite a few cards  combinations still. Try booting without RHGB 
(press return at the grub prompt, then use e to edit the entry, e again on 
the line with the kernel line. Remove the end of the line where it eays rhgb. 
Then use b to boot) If that disables the problem you got a work around for 
now (or you can update your /etc/grub.conf for it to be permanent)... File a 
bug in bugzilla.
