If there's a kernel stack trace mentioning "drm_atomic_nonblocking_commit" around the same time then please also paste that here. It's not yet clear if this is mutter or the kernel's fault.
Likely workaround: Add to /etc/environment MUTTER_DEBUG_FORCE_KMS_MODE=simple and then reboot. ** Summary changed: - Mouse pointer disappears on the second screen + Mouse pointer disappears on the second screen [Failed to post KMS update: drmModeAtomicCommit: Device or resource busy] ** Package changed: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) => mutter (Ubuntu) ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Tags added: cursor multimonitor ** Tags added: i915 -- 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/2003998 Title: Mouse pointer disappears on the second screen [Failed to post KMS update: drmModeAtomicCommit: Device or resource busy] Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: On a setup with two screens (primary: laptop screen, secondary: external monitor via thunderbolt & docking station), when moving the mouse from the primary to the secondary screen, the mouse pointer becomes invisible. Waving the mouse and clicking on windows sometimes helps. Journalctl shows "Failed to post KMS update: drmModeAtomicCommit: Device or resource busy" from gnome-shell, which is perfectly timed with when I move the mouse pointer to the secondary screen. There's a kernel stack trace immediately before that message (drm_atomic_nonblocking_commit). The issue started occurring 1-2 weeks ago, I suspect immediately after installing system updates.
