I have the same issue which resolves by reloading the driver. This started after I upgraded to 14.04. I am running Lubuntu on a DELL FX160. Graphics controller = Intel 915GM/GMS/910GML. The mouse cursor is shown on my screen but does not move until I reload the driver. relevant lines in syslog: Aug 29 08:23:11 fx160 kernel: [ 1.526301] mousedev: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
