Glad I could help, although I wouldn' call that a solution. I'd rather
have the proprietary drivers working with a mouse cursor that I could
see. Gaming tends to get a little difficult when you can't see the mouse =P

Unistalling the proprietary fglrx driver for Radeon worked. I just
reinstall the xserver-xorg-video-ati and it's working.
The reason why I had the proprietary driver is that the radeon GPU
would increase the heat to 85-90 celsius and drain a lot of battery
lfie (seems to be ok with Jessie).

Well, that would be another chapter of my long battle to fix my
discrete card.
I have an integrated intel device and a discrete radeon 700 series.
I'll try uninstalling the proprietary drivers to settle with the
open source alternative (if it works I can even turn the radeon
off with KMS and stick to the integrated intel gpu).
Thanks for the heads-up.

What is your GPU?
I ran into something very similar when using the discrete GPU
on a hybrid setup. If I use the integrated GPU the mouse
pointer is there, but when using the discrete GPU it
disappears, although the cursor *is* there just as effective
as before; I just can't see it.
From what I could gather this is an X.Org issue; perhaps your
problem is related. I'm not at my computer right now but I can
provide some links later.

I tried that too. I even installed oxygencursors in order
to have more cursors to change to LOL.
I also tried stopping and even uninstalling
gnome-settings-daemon (someone did it and it solved the
issue for xfce, but that was on ubuntu) and I'm still
stuck with this annoying problem.

Sorry. Didn't see the "xfce" part. Can you try
switching mouse cursor
theme?
