If you got that after killed Xorg, then that's a common client response.

Unless you start Xorg with the -retro flag it won't draw a cursor until a client
(usually the window manager or desktop environment) sets the cursor image.  This
is one of many changes in the years since people last wrote books on Xlib. (They
don't anymore since the advice is much shorter now: "Don't use Xlib directly,
use a toolkit.")
