I have a similar problem running Ubuntu Meerkat on an old Dell Latitude D500 that uses Intel GMA 855 graphics hardware. This problem began for me after doing an update a few days ago, and persists after this morning's kernel update. Everything works normally as before, except that I cannot draw a mouse cursor to save my life if the system boots normally. I tried playing with xorg.conf, using vesa driver instead of the default, explicitly turning on the SWCursor, etc. The only thing I found that restores the cursor is choosing Recovery in the Grub menu and then coming up using failsafeX. However, if I copy xorg.conf.failsafe over to xorg.conf and then come up normally - that still does not work.
Strangely when booting normally, even splash works! Just ... no cursor. I also tried the "sudo lshw -c display" trick suggested in bug #601172, but that hung my system like a horse. -- [855gm] 2.6.35-14: Invisible Cursor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/614176 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ 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
