[debian testing mate] mouse cursor invisible from time to time
Hi all
After last system update I experience two annoying behaviors and this thread is about the later: From time to time mouse cursor is invisible after login. Sometimes when I switch to text console and back it helps, but sometimes not (even a couple of times). What can be the reason? Any clues? regards |
your thread is lacking real information.
please read the first link in my signature. still, i think it is a graphics related problem, so please post the output of the following commands: Code:
uname -rvm |
Thanks for reply.
Code:
> uname -rvm Code:
> lspci -k | grep -iEA5 'vga|3d' Mouse cursor is invisible but exists (I can click). Problem occurs only directly after login or unlock GUI session. Switch to text console (ctrl+alt+F1) and back almost always solves this but sometimes not. I'm using Debian Testing for about a year and this never happened before one of the most recent system updates. (and didn't happen for years in Mint Mate nor Ubuntu). regards |
i still think this is a graphics problem, and related to your other issue.
the next thing to investigate would be: what sort of system are you using? how did you install debian testing, what sort of desktop environment? a quick web search does yield some interesting results. well, that's why it's called testing... fwiw, i have an intel i3 with skylake graphics, and on archlinux i could see how bugs would get better with each kernel upgrade. it's at 4.5.x now. |

thanks new info: kernel 4.5 didn't help. In addition I upgraded some xorg input/video packages, but not xorg itself due to critical bug in new version. No effect. |
Ok, problem solved. I had to change acceleration method from "SNA" to old "UXA" in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf.
Strange, since it was working perfectly with SNA for a long time. |
