The problem occurs after the Video output to the monitor is switched off (the LCD monitor said it was powering off) following the gradual fade out of the login screen. i.e. I guess this is when the video card is put into deep sleep or power saving mode?
The photo attached was taken after I pressed the docking station power on button to wake the laptop up (wagging the mouse did nothing, so I assume the laptop had gone into a deep sleep state or whatever Ubuntu does when the laptop isn't used for a long time. So it looks like whenever the mouse cursor pointer is stored, that location loses its memory when the laptop sleeps, and then when it wakes up, you end up with a big white square instead of the mouse pointer image. ** Attachment added: "Photo of laptop deep sleep square mouse cursor on waking." https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/2065780/+attachment/5784969/+files/AfterFadeAndVideoOff.jpg -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2065780 Title: mouse cursor turns into big white square on pwr resume To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/2065780/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
