http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=954108 Bug ID: 954108 Summary: No visible mouse pointer Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 42.1 Hardware: 64bit OS: openSUSE 42.1 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org Assignee: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: antoine.mechelynck@gmail.com QA Contact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- After upgrading my desktop system from 13.2 to Leap 42.1: GUI mouse "works", but no visible mouse pointer (GPM mouse is OK). Mouse (and keyboard) connected on USB Graphics hardware by Intel. It worked normally under 13.2 (with kernel-desktop). AFAICT the Leap 42.1 system has only kernel-default (and kernel-xen). Then I configured repositories and ran "zypper up". It found more than 3100 packages to upgrade. At some point during the zypper run, the mouse pointer appeared (white arrow on KDE windows, black arrow on GNOME windows). After reboot, no mouse pointer again. Even actions which are supposed to change the mouse pointer shape don't make it visible: for instance in ksnapshot, selecting "Take a new snapshot" makes its window disappear, the crosshairs pointer isn't visible. Then clicking the mouse makes the ksnapshot window reappear, the arrow (default) pointer is still not visible. Similarly when moving the hot point between a "normal" area (default cursor not visible) and a browser textarea (I-beam cursor not visible). I can only see where the mouse is if it happens to be on a widget which changes its look on mouseover, or by drag-select where that is possible. In the general case I have to guess. Keyboard control is often (not always) possible, but usually not easy (tabbing through to the desired widget is often quite time-consuming). This happens in both KDE and GNOME windows so I suppose the bug is in neither. Xorg is my "best guess" at a component, feel free to move the bug as appropriate. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
