This frozen cursor in top left problem happened to me with Ubuntu 16.10 using a GTX 1070 in a desktop as well. I made it through the installation using the keyboard. Once I installed the nvidia-367 binary drivers the problem went away.
I ended up needing Ubuntu 16.04 for what I was doing and the cursor always worked during installation of that version. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1646574 Title: Mouse cursor invisible or does not move To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/+bug/1646574/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
