This bug also affects me, on Dell Studio 15, Ubuntu 10.04. For a while, the workaround at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/554438/comments/21 was effective, but recently ctrl-alt-f7 started completely freezing my display, forcing me to power-off reboot. ( I have not yet found a workaround for that problem, but for the moment I am assuming that that is a separate issue.)
The workaround of changing virtual desktops (via ctrl-alt-leftArrrow and ctrl-alt-rightArrow) does NOT work for me. The partial workaround of making the pointer visible when ctrl is pressed is helpful, but not a full workaround: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi/+bug/64333/comments/2 The gedit workaround described at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/492782/comments/3 *does* work for me, though it is inconvenient to be blindly trying to start up an instance of gedit after every suspend/resume cycle. To make it slightly more convenient, I modified the code at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/554438/comments/21 to run gedit automatically upon resuming. I did this by placing the following shell script (and remember to chmod +x 99_mousecursor) in /etc/pm/sleep.d/99_mousecursor #!/bin/sh case "${1}" in hibernate) #nothing ;; resume|thaw) # dbooth 2/21/11: this is a workaround for the mouse pointer being # invisible after suspend/resume, given that ctrl-alt-f7 now # freezes my display, so i can no longer use the workaround # described at # https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/554438/comments/21 # The gedit workaround requires both a key press in gedit # and the pointer must be within the gedit window. /usr/bin/xrefresh -display ":0.0" /usr/bin/gedit --display :0.0 ;; suspend) ;; esac -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/492782 Title: Mouse cursor disappears after restarting screen (xrandr / resume) _______________________________________________ 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
