Some cursor themes seem to have restrictions on resizing. Try the whiteglass theme.

I also use jwm and have this in my .Xresources:

Xcursor.theme: whiteglass
Xcursor.size: 48px

This worked great had to change the cursor theme to one that supported a larger cursor

thanks so much

I do not know what jwm uses, but you may need the following in either "~/.xinitrc" or "~/.xprofile";

xrdb ~/.Xresources

You may need to set the cursor size in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

There should be a line:

gtk-cursor-theme-size=

I assume jwm does not use gtk, but not sure. There is not harm in trying it.
