I'm attaching a bug report for when there was no visible mouse cursor at the log in screen. I switched to tty to create the bug report but forgot I originally reported the XOrg and instead did nautilus this time.
I DID update my BIOS to 1.70 and it is still happening. I'm finding it happen with greater frequency too, particularly at the log in screen. The cursor will typically no appear until I first move the mouse, but there are times when it won't even appear when I do move it. It's there, but just not visible, as I can click the cog wheel. ** Attachment added: "Bug Report When There Is No Visible Mouse Cursor At Log In Screen" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1465862/+attachment/4423845/+files/noMouseAtLogIn.apport -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1465862 Title: Mouse Cursor Invisible Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: My first experience was while using kernel 3.9.21 which I upgraded to today. I read about "gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.cursor active false", but it didn't bring it back (I did not reboot). Then I also read about CTRL-ALT-F1 -> F7 and it came back. Then I built my own kernel 4.0, rebooted and straight away the mouse cursor was nowhere to be seen (don't remember if it was visible during login). Right away I tried CTRL-ALT-F1 -> F7 and that did nothing. Luckily items will highlight when hovered over, so I got my browser up and also brought up the terminal to try gsettings again, but to no avail. That's when I tried ubuntu-bug report and at the very last stage when I'm about to press "Send", the cursor shows up. I went ahead and sent the report anyway in hopes that the capturing part of the report would show the visibility issue.
