Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-driver-nv
I upgraded from Dapper to Edgy beta a few weeks ago, and decided to
switch from the closed-source nvidia X driver to the open-source nv
driver. Everything has been fine EXCEPT:
When I log out of GNOME, or press CTRL-ALT-DEL to kill the X-server, or
otherwise kill gdm or my X session, the mouse cursor disappears and I
can't make it come back other than by rebooting.
I've tried several workarounds to get the mouse cursor to reappear:
* restarting gdm (/etc/init.d/gdm restart)
* changing the Gnome mouse cursor theme (has no effect, mouse cursor does not
reappear)
* restarting X with the "nvidia" driver rather than the "nv" driver; I was
*very* surprised, but this did not fix the problem!!!
The only way to get the cursor to reappear is by rebooting, as far as I
can tell. My video card is an NVidia GeForce 6100 (integrated into
motherboards for AMD K8 processors).
