If I Suspend the laptop and then wake it back up, then the invisible mouse pointer appears. Does this help diagnose the problem?
I got the idea from this: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=61447 --- On Sun, 3/20/11, Steven Sciame <sasci...@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Steven Sciame <sasci...@yahoo.com> Subject: mouse pointer disappeared after upgrading to 6.0.1 in GNOME To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Date: Sunday, March 20, 2011, 12:05 PM Hello, I hope this is the correct place to continue my search for how to turn the mouse pointer back on after upgrading to 6.0.1 It was working perfectly then I rebooted after the upgrade. Ever since then I have had no mouse pointer. Changing the themes has no effect. I am using GNOME. Any help would be much appreciated. -Steven
