Public bug reported:
I have a vision problem and due to this I do not see very well the mouse
pointer in its original size on my 14" HiDPI 2560x1440 QHD screen of my
laptop. Therefore I go to "Universal Access" in the GNOME Settings and
choose "Medium" for "Cursor Size".
Due to bug 1722988 I happened to temporarily use GDM instead of LightDM
and so I observed that my cursor size change is only applied if I am
running my system with GDM as the greeter. With LightDM the cursor stays
in original size all the time. So I have currently switched to GDM again
to be able to have the larger mouse cursor.
The commmands I have used (as of comment #9 of bug 1722988):
----------
sudo systemctl disable lightdm
sudo systemctl stop lightdm
sudo systemctl enable gdm #Seems to fail
sudo systemctl start gdm
sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm3 #Shows lightdm selected
select gdm3, push enter
Reboot
----------
But the large mouse cursor with GDM is also not perfect, as in some
situations it stays in the small size.
