This bug affects a number of different systems with Nvidia 10 Series (Pascal) GPUs. When using Nouveau, the cursor is drawn in the top left corner of the screen and appears to be stuck there despite the user being able to move around and click anywhere.
While it's possible to work around this bug by installing the proprietary Nvidia driver, this bug is a huge hassle when installing from the standard iso. (Also when the proprietary driver breaks or is removed for some reason) The Nouveau developers report that this is fixed in Kernel 4.10 and pointed to this commit as solving the issue: https://github.com/skeggsb/nouveau/commit/b94985176af536ab752a63baecdee263ffcce63f With the two preceding commits being needed as well: https://github.com/skeggsb/nouveau/commit/0d874f550816a6d7038658c3ec78c992e40c132f https://github.com/skeggsb/nouveau/commit/88a1b714678ad1f5bda441052383e70a9d52f100 Still need to test these commits, but they look promising. With 16.04.2 bringing in the 4.8 kernel, which is affected by this bug, it would be nice to have these cherry picked to make sure the ISO works with modern NVIDIA GPUs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1646574 Title: Mouse cursor invisible or does not move Status in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When using nouveau driver for my GTX 1070 (mobile) the mouse cursor is fixed in left upper corner or sometimes disappear.
