[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1568604] Re: Mouse cursor lost when unlocking with Intel graphics
As mentioned before, this issue might be related with light locker. After removing this one and installation of other screen locker the issue disappears. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1568604 Title: Mouse cursor lost when unlocking with Intel graphics Status in elementary OS: Fix Released Status in xf86-video-intel: Confirmed Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel source package in Xenial: Confirmed Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: [Impact] Mouse cursor is no longer visible after VT-switch for systems with Intel graphics.

Moreover, if you would like to build intel driver manually, you can use
steps bellow (your own risk, I checked only for 14.04.5 and 16.04.1).
$ git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel
$ cd xf86-video-intel
$ docker run -v `pwd`:/build -i -t ubuntu:14.04 /bin/bash
# apt update && apt upgrade && apt install build-essential dh-autoreconf
xutils-dev xorg-dev git
# ./autogen.sh
# make
# exit
$ find ./ -name intel_drv.so
$ sudo apt purge xserver-xorg-video-intel*
cp ./src/.libs/intel_drv.so /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/
You can install intel driver from repo using:
$ sudo apt purge xserver-xorg-video-intel-{VERSION}
P.S. May be it makes sense to create Dockerfile :-)

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1568604] Re: Mouse cursor lost when unlocking with Intel graphics
Hi, There are a few notes from my side. Proposed workaround with adding adding configuration file for XOrg may affect re-draw speed and should be used carefully (tested on Xubuntu 16.04.1). -- /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf -- Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Graphics" Driver "intel" Option "AccelMethod" "uxa" EndSection Moreover, the latest (5th) update for ubuntu 14.04.5 contains this issue (4th works like a charm).
