--- Comment #20 from Tony Mechelynck
This happens with NVidia driver as well and is very random.
The only iffy solution I have found is to run "unclutter -reset -root -grab -idle 1 -visible", wait a second or two then move the mouse pointer and see if it comes back. You may have to do this a few dozen times before it appears.
This bug has been in place since at least 13.1 and affects all distros.
So we have several solutions: • the above (does it have to be run from an X terminal or is it OK in a pure-text console, e.g. when seeing the X login form but not yet replying to it)? I haven't yet tested it, I shall at next reboot. (BTW unclutter wasn't yet installed on my system; I just installed it.) A few dozen times? We-e-ell… • restarting X, e.g. "systemctl try-restart display-manager" which can be run from /dev/tty2 while the X login form is up; see also comment #16; • setting fbdev as the driver instead. On my system this appears on 42.1 but on 13.2 and before it didn't. I hope that a solution will be found even if fbdev works for me. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
