After a few letters (2 or 3) the cursor disappear and you have to guess blindly where it is (you can continue typing). This only seems to happen with a Sandy Bridge CPU and it's integrated gpu. My other PC, which has an AMD processor and gpu, doesn't show this behavior. A workaround is to put this into the Xorg-Configuration: Section "Device" Option "AccelMethod" "uxa" EndSection The opposite and probably default of openSUSE 13.1 is: Section "Device" Option "AccelMethod" "sna" EndSection Unfortunately my kernel doesn't seem to put the gpu into powersave mode if "uxa" is active and my cpu/gpu consumes more power+becomes hot. Additionally "sna" probably gives more performance. Before a few years there was a similar bug in Evolution, related to an older Nvidia driver. That gave me the clue to look into my graphics driver settings. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/240591 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24/+b... So the rendering of Evolutions composing component seems to be quite sensible to the graphics driver. My notebook (which shows the bug): OS: openSUSE 13.1 x86_64 Model: Thinkpad x220 (Type 4291-36G) CPU: Intel i7-2620M (Sandy Bridge) Reproducible: Always -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
