[Bug 1568604] Re: Mouse cursor lost when unlocking with Intel graphics

[Mario Steele]

Slight amendment to my last comment.  The issue is resolved when
manually locking the screen.  The cursor will come back each time.  The
issue remains however, when using the Automatic screen shutoff of the
OS, to shut off the monitor after being idle for so long.  Switching to
5 minute idle before turning off the monitor helps make it easier to see
the issue.  However, when Suspending the system, and manually locking,
the cursor does return after unlocking the screen.

[Bug 1568604] Re: Mouse cursor lost when unlocking with Intel graphics

[Mario Steele]

I have tried both the ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers repo, and the
Xorg.conf.d method on my Asus S550CA, with Intel Ivybridge, and now the
issue seems intermediate. It'll sometimes unlock, with the cursor
visible, and sometimes it'll not show the cursor till I have issued the
chvt 1+7 script to have it re-appear.  So, between the two, there's
something that is making it work sometimes, and not other times.

[Bug 1568604] Re: Mouse cursor lost when unlocking with Intel graphics

[Mario Steele]

Attempts to use 2:2.99.917+git20160706-1ubuntu1 on my Asus S550CA, with
Intel Ivybridge Video card, did not resolve the issue with the mouse
dis-appearing.  I've also attempted to remove the xserver-xorg-video-
intel package, and resort to using X.org's modesetting to see if that
would resolve the issue, and it does not.  This is on Elementary OS 0.4
(Loki).

[Bug 1568604] Re: Mouse cursor lost when unlocking with Intel graphics

[Mario Steele]

To me, what it seems to be the problem, is that Lock Screens, and Login
systems, such as GDM, or LightDM, or Pantheon's is utilizing VTs to
display Login, and switch between users / lock screen and log back in.
Which seems to be solved by resetting the Virtual Terminal, either
through a chvt between 1 and 7, or bringing up / having a terminal open,
and issuing some command that causes a line reset to which the Mouse
Cursor is allowed to be displayed again.  That's what it seems to me
anyways.

That is what I'm running on my ASUS S550CA laptop.
