Title:
[mgag200] Ubuntu 19.10 upgrade results in invisible mouse cursor on
Matrox G200eR2
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in linux source package in Eoan:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
== SRU Justification ==
The cursor on Matrox G200eR2 will disappear after upgrading kernel from
Disco to Eoan, this is caused by this commit that got applied in Eoan:
4dc57b10 (drm/mgag200: Rewrite cursor handling)
== Fix ==
* a9c342ab (drm/mgag200: Don't unpin the current cursor image's buffer.)
* cf578c8c (drm/mgag200: Set cursor scanout address to correct BO)
* e61576c4 (drm/mgag200: add in missing { } around if block)
* a0fd72d2 (drm/mgag200: Pin displayed cursor BO to video memory)
Focal got these patches already and it does not have this issue.
== Test ==
Test kernel could be found here:
https://people.canonical.com/~phlin/kernel/lp-1851340-mgag200-cursor/
Verified by the bug reporter, John Hartley, the patched kernel can fix
this issue.
== Regression Potential ==
Low, change limited to mgag200 cursor itself, and it's already been
applied on newer releases.
== Original Bug Report ==
Following in place upgrade of Ubuntu 19.04 -> 19.10 I no longer have visible
cursor with my Gnone desktop.
I have found the same problem when upgrading 2 machines from Ubuntu
19.04 -> 19.10.
Reproducing problem is easy:
1. Open Ubuntu Update Window
2. Select "Upgrade"
3. On completion of update (after reboot) cursor is no longer visible.
4. This applies to display connected to VGA port on host with USB Keyboard +
Mouse
While the connected display has no visible cursor and so is usable, I
have always used X11VNC Server to provide network GUI access. On the
remote X11VNC display I see and can use the cursor.
This bug report is being sent via Remote X11VNC window, as I cannot
use the main VGA display window (due to lack of visible cursor)
I have done search online and thought that maybe issue was with my USB
Mighty Mouse, so I also tried with Logitech M100R USB Mouse. Same
result, no visible mouse cursor.
I have done: "grep usb /var/log/syslog" and can see many USB events,
including both Apple and Logitech mouse detection events.
NOTE:
Due to compatibility issue with X11VNC, I have disable Wayland on both
machines by adding the following option to: /etc/gdm3/custom.conf
WaylandEnable=false
Regards,
John Hartley.
