Sounds like you are seeing a software cursor. Can you include dmesg for your system as well as your Xorg.0.log? Created attachment 114461 [details]
tar.gz file containing logs
Contents of this file are:
1 -rw-r--r-- root/root 145232 2015-03-13 20:04 Xorg.0.log12

Hi, This problem appears to have been resolved. Here are the kernels on my system: /vmlinuz-3.19.3-200.fc21.x86_64 /vmlinuz-3.19.2-201.fc21.x86_64 /vmlinuz-3.19.1-201.fc21.x86_64 The last one causes the problem but the "-2" and "-3" kernels it's gone. The kernel MIGHT not be the solution though because I tried and failed to install the latest NVIDIA driver. The installation fails due to missing fields in some Kernel structures. NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-346.47.run is the filename. I can't figure out what they may have modified to effect this problem. They did put "nouveau" in a file in /etc/modprobe.d. The filename and it's contents are: nvidia-installer-disable-nouveau.conf # generated by nvidia-installer blacklist nouveau options nouveau modeset=0 Do you see anything here of interest? Do you need more info? Let me know. Thanks for your help with this. There a several things of interest especially to you: 1) this is a optimus notebook with a software mux -> the iGPU draws the cursor 2) you are missing the nouveau driver for X i tend to close this as invalid... As far as I know the driver IS present. This problem seems to have gone away with a newer kernel. Which laptop are you talking about? Mine is an Asus n53sn. (In reply to George R.

If the problem is gone, thats fine, yet i tried to tell you how i read your logs ;-) And one is the the nouveau driver for X is not found: (from your Xorg.0.log) nouveau not found: [ 245.501] (II) LoadModule: "nouveau" [ 245.502] (WW) Warning, couldn't open module nouveau [ 245.502] (II) UnloadModule: "nouveau" [ 245.502] (II) Unloading nouveau [ 245.502] (EE) Failed to load module "nouveau" (module does not exist, 0) intel drives the display: [ 245.619] (II) intel(0): switch to mode 1366x768@60.0 on LVDS1 using pipe 0, position (0, 0), rotation normal, reflection none [ 245.634] (II) intel(0): switch to mode 1920x1080@60.0 on HDMI1 using pipe 1, position (0, 0), rotation normal, reflection none OP says that the problem went away with a fresh kernel. |
