Description:
Hello, 

I am very enthusiastic about void linuz. However, there is n issue hindering me from being able to use it at the moment.

I have ran through a fresh install several times before.

However recently, I upgraded my graphics card, and now when I fresh install I am unable to use the cursor.
I have been on Arch Linux for the time being until a fix arises.

I am no professional, but something tells me it has to do with the kernel version shipping currently with void linux (6.1) and the mesa driver version (22.3.5) having some sort of issue with each other.

[Seems to be well documented issues](https://www.google.com/search?q=cursor+not+showing+7900xtx+linux) with the 7900 XTX not showing the cursor, for which the broad solutions seem to be a) use Wayland, or b) [turn on software rendered cursor in xorg.conf](https://www.x.org/archive/X11R6.8.0/doc/ati5.html#20).

**EDIT**: I think in the future, you should post this sort of question on the forum if it's not about a specific package.

I wish you luck, but definitely not the place to post this.
