missing mouse after gnome install

Question

I recently installed gnome3 on my Ubuntu partition (on a suspicion that unity is memory leaking) and now my mouse has disappeared from both the login screen and after logged in. I used these instructions to install it on my Ubuntu 13.10 this morning so it should be the most recent version I think. Does anyone know what causes this or how to fix it?

Try this:

open a terminal an run gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.cursor active false OR
run dconf-editor and navigate to org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.cursor and set the schema active to false.

Open System Settings > Displays by pressing window key and search for system settings in dash.
In the Displays window, you will see an Unknown monitor. Click it and disable it

When I search "System Settings" or just "setting" in the Unity Search Panel I get no results. – avorum Nov 24 '13 at 02:40
run this command on terminal gnome-control-center – Avinash Raj Nov 24 '13 at 02:49
I selected the displays option in the gnome-control-center and it opened saying "Could not get screen information" across the middle of the window. – avorum Nov 24 '13 at 03:45

If you are using an old NVIDIA card try installing

apt-get install nvidia-common

Important:
Don't run nvidia-config and don't create any xorg.conf file now!

Then reboot

apt-get install nvidia-173

reboot

I don't know if there has to be several reboots, but the first time I tried it without installing nvidia-common first and this messed up with my resolution for my LCD monitor
