Sigh, with kernel 4.1.0.1.1~rc2 I just had the cursor disappear, so it is not fixed as I had hoped. :\
That said, arround the time this happened I noticed this in syslog: Jul 16 10:37:33 jamie-XPS-13-9343 kernel: [11297.284147] [drm:intel_cpu_fifo_underrun_irq_handler [i915]] *ERROR* CPU pipe A FIFO underrun -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1467595 Title: cursor sometimes disappears on XPS 13 9343 and external monitor Status in Unity: Confirmed Status in unity package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have a new Dell XPS 13 9343 with the HiDPI touch screen and am using an external display port monitor. Occasionally, the mouse cursor disappears (sometimes after screen lock, other times just normal usage). I saw something on stack exchange that said this might help: gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.cursor active false I've done this and it sometimes helps and sometimes doesn't. I've also just seen the cursor come back on its own after a few minutes without doing anything. Trying to interact with the touch screen, then the mouse has no effect. Unplugging and replugging the mouse has no effect. Using the touchpad has no effect.
