I can confirm this is an actual bug as my system is affected too. My system: Xubuntu 16.04 LTS, x86-64.
My system is an update to a 15.10 installation. My solution is to switch to a virtual terminal (CTRL+ALT+F<n>) and then switch back to X session (CTRL+ALT+F7). -- 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/1540157 Title: Xenial: Mouse pointer disappears after release upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1540157/+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
