I believe users are confused as mouse cursor is not visible by default.
It has to be enabled in settings, bu it's not that easy if you dont have touch screen...

It would be nice if mouse device is detected, it would enable cursor automatically.

How is the mouse cursor enabled in settings? Which settings?
