How do you increase the size of the mouse arrow - Ubuntu v8.04/10
Hmm, I have Kubuntu 9.04 so don't know how relevant it is, but if you go to System Settings>Keyboard & Mouse>Mouse then click on the cursor theme tab you can select different themes which have different sized cursors. Don't know how to change the size without changing themes though :-(
In Ubuntu 8.10, go to System -> Preferences -> Appearance
Click on Customize, then go to the Pointer tab. You should see a few different pointers. Some of them are resizeable - click on each of tem and see if the "size" option becomes available (at the bottom of the dialog box), per attached screenshot
