This package provides larger cursors under X. It accomplishes that by installing a modified cursor font. If you've just installed the package, you will probably need to restart X, (or restart your font server and window manager if you use a font server), before the font will be used. You may need to configure X resources to make the cursor be used. If Xcursor.theme is set it will force use of some other cursor. For example, xdm contains a /etc/X11/xdm/Xresources file that sets "Xcursor.theme: whiteglass" and you will need to comment that out for the big cursor to be used. Note that this package was put together by following the lead of the X-Big-Cursor mini-howto. You might find that document interesting reading. -- Joey Hess
