I had a similar (if not same) bug on my Thinkpad T43 running Ubuntu 10.04 (upgraded from 9.04) and I may have a sort of work around.
For me anytime the screen was blanked, such as when I closed the laptop lid OR whenever I hibernated/suspended the pointer was hidden on resume but the mouse still functioned. Under the System->Preference->Appearance->Theme->Customize->Pointer setting I selected the "redglass" theme and adjusted "Size:" to the largest setting. I now have a comically large mouse pointer but it appears after a screen blank or suspend/hibernation when I move the mouse around a bit. It seems like whatever is going on is still happening because immediately after coming out of suspend/hibernate the pointer is still hidden but after moving the mouse around for a second the pointer appears. -- No mouse cursor after resuming from suspend during the graphical login prompt. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/552214 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
