Cursor disappears until I click the mouse


Ubuntu 16.04 lts

My mouse cursor disappears when not moved (like 5 secs or less) until I click the mouse button.

Pulling my hair out. Give me baby steps to any solution - I'm just a user.

What desktop environment did that give you, (Add:) did you change anything?
Have you tried a search or five, something to start like: mouse pointer disappears Ubuntu 16.04 LTS?

...so, you should have someone to "fix"* it for you‽

I'm just a driver but can't afford one that (only yet partially) drives itself.

I hate batteries!

Cool you fixed and let us know.

There's a link here or there that may help with future posts, I'd never of guessed hardware tho others may have?

Have fun!
