I'm getting the same problem in SID for somes days. I'm affected with fluxbox and I use an .xinitrc The cursor is invisible (but active, "mouseovers" show that). If I launch rxvt-unicode and set it in fullscreen then the cursor comes visible (and then stays in this state). Other applications I tried with doesn't give the same effect.
(I don't use modsetting due to #569718, AFAI can guess it is maybe related to the i915 driver but I still need to try with vesa) # some lsmod i915 217023 1 drm_kms_helper 17183 1 i915 drm 107507 3 i915,drm_kms_helper i2c_algo_bit 3497 1 i915 i2c_core 12612 4 videodev,i915,drm,i2c_algo_bit video 14605 1 i915 button 3598 1 i915 # some dpkg ii xserver-xorg 1:7.5+3 ii xserver-xorg-core 2:1.7.5-1 ii xserver-xorg-input-evdev 1:2.3.2-3 ii xserver-xorg-input-synaptics 1.2.1-1 ii xserver-xorg-video-fbdev 1:0.4.1-1 ii xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.9.1-2 ii xserver-xorg-video-vesa 1:2.3.0-1 ii x11proto-input-dev 2.0-2 ii xinput 1.5.0-2 ii libdrm-intel1 2.4.18-2 ii linux-image-2.6.32-trunk-686 2.6.32-5 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
