sometimes after opening a program or returning from suspend mode the mouse cursor disappears.

Anyone know how to fix this?

thanks

you can restart you X server by hitting ctrl+alt+backspace see if that works

are you using a 'software' or 'hardware' pointer? look in your XFree86 config. maybe use the hardware pointer to avoid this?

hello,
The problem is as long as I am working on the computer, my mouse cursor is normal. But after returning from suspend mode , the cursor of the mouse disappears. If I restart my computer, then again its normal. The only problem is after returning from suspend mode i have to restart my computer.
Pls let me know if u have any more suggestions . Its really annoying, restarting my computer again and again.
thanks

this is the config file /etc/X11/XF86Config or /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
