[Bug 492782] Re: Mouse cursor disappears after restarting screen (xrandr / resume)
This bug also affects me, on Dell Studio 15, Ubuntu 10.04. For a while, the
workaround at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/554438/comments/21
was effective, but recently ctrl-alt-f7 started completely freezing my display,
forcing me to power-off reboot. ( I have not yet found a workaround for that
problem, but for the moment I am assuming that that is a separate issue.)
The workaround of changing virtual desktops (via ctrl-alt-leftArrrow and
ctrl-alt-rightArrow) does NOT work for me.
The partial workaround of making the pointer visible when ctrl is pressed is
helpful, but not a full workaround:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi/+bug/64333/comments/2
The gedit workaround described at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/492782/comments/3
*does* work for me, though it is inconvenient to be blindly trying to start up
an instance of gedit after every suspend/resume cycle. To make it slightly
more convenient, I modified the code at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/554438/comments/21
to run gedit automatically upon resuming. I did this by placing the following
shell script (and remember to chmod +x 99_mousecursor) in

I found a (rather old and slow) computer at a customer where the mouse is invisible directly after boot. The machine is running the newest kernel for Lucid at the moment (Linux ubuntu 2.6.32-27-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Wed Dec 1 23:52:12 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux), so I guess this bug is still unsolved.

[Bug 492782] Re: Mouse cursor disappears after restarting screen (xrandr / resume)
In case it helps narrow things... I just did a fresh install of Kubuntu 10.10 and I'm seeing this issue now. This did not occur, for me, on Kubuntu 10.04, using drivers downloaded from nVidia. I'm running a dual-display setup. The problem only occurs on my left screen (screen 1). The right display is fine. That is, the mouse will show on the right screen, but disappears when I move across to the left. Opening a terminal and performing the steps previously mentioned does not fix the problem.

There is also a question about this at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video- intel/+question/108987 Common to all bug reports I read is that: - The symptom is that the mouse pointer is invisible, but the mouse still works: you can hover on stuff and click. - The problem appears after the X mode changes (eg. while returning from blank screen, returning from suspend, changing resolutions, other fiddling with xrandr, sometimes even directly from boot). - In some reports there are step-by-step how to reproduce while in some the cursor disappears randomly. At least is is sure that for average bug reporters it is hard to spot the pattern why/when the mouse pointer disappears. - There are several workarounds that makes the X mode reload and thus brings the mouse back: -- switching back and fourth to a console (Ctrl+Alt+F1, Ctrl+Alt+F7) -- opening Gnome terminal and writing something (some other apps too, but writing in any app won't work) - It seems that this bug is expressed on both Intel, ATI and Nvidia cards. - The desktop environment seems always to be Gnome. Bug #457046 might be related - there the cursor disappears because of a race condition in Gnome which makes the cursor drawn under the window. - Different Ubuntu releases and kernel versions are affected, however in some bug reports upgrading to a new release/kernel made the problem go away. The patch in bug #614176 comment #22 seems interesting. - Bug #595282 hints it might be a problem in how X detects the display or some interaction between xorg-server and kernel that messes the mouse pointer. - According to bug #475917 removing the file ~/.config/monitors.xml prevents expression of the bug. Disclaimer: kernel drivers, Xorg, xrandr, Gnome display management etc is not my expertise, so I don't know where the problem actually is. I however hope this investigation helps somebody and decreases the number of new bugs of the same issue. If it turns out that this is now fixed in newer kernels, please backport the fix to 10.04 LTS to increase it's stability. -- Mouse cursor disappears after restarting screen (xrandr / resume) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/492782 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
