Package: lightdm Version: 1.18.3-1 At first login after boot the mouse pointer will disappear. It still works but is invisible. Logout and login again will bring the mouse pointer back. This behavior is new after I updated stretch today - presumably to stretch 9.7 With some web reasearch I found this to be an old well known problem with lightdm and intel graphic chips. I can provide three web links which seem helpful: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1568604 https://antergos.com/wiki/de/hardware/graphics/invisible-mouse-cursor/ https://forum.antergos.com/topic/4375/invisible-mouse-cursor-after-sleep-lock
