On way would be to edit or create the file ~/.Xdefaults
and add the following line (change the name to the cursor theme you have
installed):
Xcursor.theme: Gold
 
You can change the size by adding a line like:
Xcursor.size: 48
 
If you experience flickering, try setting the following line in
 
the Device section of your xorg.conf file:
     Option  "HWCursor"  "false"
