Hi, I'm also getting this on 12.04. My machine is a Toshiba Portege R100 with a Trident Microsystems CyberBlade XP4m32 (rev 91) graphics card running on the xserver-xorg-video-trident driver. The desktop defaults to Unity 2D, I think because of the limitations of my graphics card.
I'm not running unclutter. It SEEMS to only happen with DMZ-White. For me this issue is intermittent. 90% of the time, restarting and THEN logging out and back in restores the cursor to normal. A simple restart or log out almost never works (By "normal" I mean that it doesn't disappear over icons.) If the cursor is behaving normally, I can reliably "cause" the problem by starting Software Center. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-evdev in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/774434 Title: mouse pointer disappears in ubuntu (11.04 onwards...)
