This bug is seen on Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit, as guest system, on a VMware Workstation 9.0.1 virtual machine with dual screen. The host system is Windows 7 64-bit on Lenovo Ideapad Y480N laptop, which uses Intel HD Graphis 4000, and a secondary Nvidia GT650m card. I have installed VMware tools in the guest system. To reproduce the bug, switch the virtual machine to full-screen mode, then press the "Cycle multiple monitors" button on the toolbar to expand the guest to the 2nd screen. The mouse cursor then disappears when moved to the 2nd screen, while in 1st screen it remains fine. However if you move quickly enough, you can see it remain visible for a very short moment on the 2nd screen before it vanishes. I tested using my built-in monitor as main display, the external Dell monitor as 2nd display, and vice versa. In both situations the bug exists. Workaround includes bringing out tty via Ctrl Alt F1 then back with Ctrl Alt F7, as well as simply opening up a file explorer window, which will cause the shape of the cursor to change to "wait". This fix is persistent until the vm is powered down. Locking the screen, logging out or suspending (via VMware or inside Ubuntu) will not bring back the bug.

However, since the upgrade to Ubuntu Karmic, the mouse cursor disappears after using xrandr. I'm using xorg version 1:7.4+3ubuntu10 and Ubuntu 9.10. The commands I use are: xrandr --output LVDS --mode 800x600 xrandr --output LVDS --off --output VGA --mode 1280x1024 After using these commands, the mouse cursor disappears, but I can still focus and click. Moving the (suspected, but invisible) mouse cursor over a desktop item, highlits it and I can activate it by clicking. One temporarily solution I've found is to switch to the console (CTRL + ALT + F1) and back (CTRL + ALT + F7). This makes the mouse cursor reappear. Using xrandr to reset to the original settings doesn't bring the cursor back.
