I have the same problem on Asus X73B with Linux Mint 17.1, Did another fresh install and the problem is still there. When having lock screen with screen saver, cursor is visible, but when I resume without it - no cursor. Also it happens only when closing lid, not when suspending manually.
The laptop is for elderly, not technical person so any lock screens with passwords or other workarounds are not solution for me. The only way to avoid it at this point is to set computer to do nothing when lid closes. The same effect is with unistalling power management. Tried gnome power manager but after install I saw no settings for it and I couldn't find it in start menu and the whole package seemed to be not there, although in program manager it showed as "installed". Anyway, I didn't found a viable solution. It's a serious bug, a show stopper for laptop users and it affects all ubuntu family systems. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1297144 Title: [Lenovo ThinkPad X230] Invisible cursor after resume from suspend Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: I am using the daily build of Xubuntu 14.04 x64 on a Lenovo Thinkpad x230. If I wake up the computer after it spending some time in the suspend state, the cursor will be invisible. The courser still works (I can click on stuff and hover the invisible cursor over stuff), but the little arrow is not visible. This bug showed up a few days ago after an update. Putting the computer back in suspend state and immediately waking it back up resolves the issue until the next time the computer is put in suspend state for an extended period of time. It is possible that this bug has something to do with Whisker Menu. Sometimes when the courser is invisible it will still show up over Whisker Menu. Most of the time it is invisible there too.
