Has someone taken the patch (or rather revert) that was linked in the freedesktop bug entry and tried to apply it to the Ubuntu package? (That appears to be this commit: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=b04767c84deafc44993723add4b1c5163fc11711). I have no experience in how the Ubuntu distribution is run, but is it out of the question to apply this as patch on the Ubuntu side to finally fix this?
I notice that already in my surroundings, several not-so-proficient users are severely affected by this. (One has switched back to a rather old Windows installation because the key combinations of the workaround are apparently too difficult to remember.) So this is keeping me from updating to 16.04. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1568604 Title: Mouse cursor lost when unlocking with Intel graphics Status in elementary OS: Confirmed Status in X.Org X server: Confirmed Status in xf86-video-intel: Fix Released Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Cursor is visible at unlock screen either after returning from suspend or just locking. After unlocking screen cursor is invisible. Changing to vt1 then back to vt7 (ctrl+alt+f1 then ctrl+alt+f7) cursor returns ==================== no matter if you suspend or sleep, to swap or disk when you return from it, the mouse cursor is missing. you can still move the mouse and you can see (because it highlights the window) as you move it around. But the cursor is not displayed on the screen. i am using a lenovo W540 laptop. I downloaded the latest beta on april 8 2016. this is xubuntu using the xfce window manager. the cursor does return if i log off and log back in, but that actually defeats the purpose of going to sleep. --- ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-04-08 (2 days ago) InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Beta amd64 (20160323) NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_uvm nvidia_modeset nvidia Package: light-locker 1.7.0-2ubuntu1 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_US TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-18.34-generic 4.4.6 Tags: xenial Uname: Linux 4.4.0-18-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: _MarkForUpload: True To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/elementaryos/+bug/1568604/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
