I discovered why one of the users was unaffacted upon login: She had no ~/.config/monitors.xml file (where gnome-display-properties saves it settings). Once she manually used gnome-display-properties, the cursor started disappeared, and on her next login it was invisible. After removing ~/.config/monitors.xml, her new logins have a cursor.
So a workaround to this bug is to never use gnome-display-properties, only xrandr. And rm ~/.config/monitors.xml if you have used it before. I'm not sure if this bug should be marked as affecting gnome-display-properties - whatever resolution it requests, the video driver should still be responsible for showing a cursor. -- [i945GME,nomodeset] mouse cursor invisible https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/475917 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
