Now I'm stumped. There have been lots of cries of "my mouse pointer disappeared" in the Ubuntu forums but they relate to plain Ubuntu. Most of the answers sound like wild guesses. Do you see this behavior even when you run directly from the LinuxCNC LiveCD? If you're running an installed LinuxCNC did you install it from the LiveCD or build it up starting with a stock Ubuntu? (For that matter, are you in Scandinavia? Maybe the recent solar storm is affecting your system <grin>.) When I get a chance I'll look more closely at my MB setup---bios version, bios settings, etc.---and let you know if anything comes to mind. Thank goodness you have the workaround, but like you I like to know why it's needed and how to fix the underlying problem.
