Public bug reported:
Sometime in the last couple of days updates (I refresh pretty
regularly), the trackpad pointer just disappeared within Gnome shell.
The trackpad works while typing in my username and password, the pointer
is visible and moves as expected.
However, the moment that I log in to gnome-shell, the pointer disappears
and no mouse movement can be made.
Attaching an external mouse is semi-functional, although after any short
period of idle time not moving the external mouse (e.g. more than 10
seconds) it is necessary to click before further mouse movements events
are sent.
As part of the power configuration, this laptop uses a customised
rc.local as attached, although I don't know if any of these are related
to the failure (this specialised configuration has been installed in the
laptop for many months).
