Description chris_debian 2013-02-16 11:54:33 UTC

I'm using Manjaro Linux (an Arch derivative) and the xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.6-1 driver. When booting the OS, the mouse cursor appears, but for no discernible reason, it frequently disappears. I have to reboot to regain the cursor. 

When the cursor disappears, I can still move the mouse, and elements of the GUI 'gain focus', but I'm unable to do this with any precision.

Please let me know if I can send you any further details.

Thanks,

Chris.

This bug seems very similar to Bug 15758

Comment 2 chris_debian 2013-02-25 16:51:53 UTC

The bug does seem similar, apart from me using 32-bit architecture and the earlier bug apparently being for 64-bit.

This bug doesn't really provide any information, like hardware, logs, etc. Let's assume that it's also about a NV4E card and mark it as a dup of the other issue. I hightly doubt that x86 vs x86_64 would make a difference here. (I remember seeing yet-another report of NV4E cursor weirdness.)

It's arch independant. Unfortunately. Happens a lot less often lately though, but I haven't used the laptop for quite a while.
