d3b-null: because it wasn't fixed upstream before jun 21st, and noone did the necessary bisect to find the commits before this week. I haven't been able to reproduce it on my hw.
Bryan, Sean: thanks, I've modified the diff a bit, dropped the unnecessary refresh and fixed the version number and uploaded it ** Description changed: - [SRU for Ubuntu 16.04] - Package (yakkety): xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.99.917+git20160706-1ubuntu1 - Current (xenial): xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.99.917+git20160325-1ubuntu1 - [Impact] Mouse cursor is no longer visible after VT-switch for systems with Intel graphics. Switching VTs again may cause the cursor to become visible again. - Changing to vt1 then back to vt7 (ctrl+alt+f1 then ctrl+alt+f7) This is often observed in systems that lock the session and return to the greeter (including at least Xubuntu, Ubuntu Mate, and elementary OS). [Test Case] (Requires a lightdm-based screen locking solution) 1. Start a new session. 2. Lock your screen. 2a. You are redirected to the lightdm greeter. 3. Login/Unlock your session. 4. Cursor is no longer visible. - [Debian Changelog (since 2:2.99.917+git20160325-1ubuntu1)] - xserver-xorg-video-intel (2:2.99.917+git20160706-1ubuntu1) yakkety; urgency=medium - * Merge from Debian. - - xserver-xorg-video-intel (2:2.99.917+git20160706-1) unstable; urgency=medium - * New upstream snapshot. - * fix-fd-leak-when-intel-scrn-create-fails.diff, sna-let-modesetting- - handle-gen9+.diff: Dropped as the fallback to modesetting will be - fully handled in the xserver. - * .docs: Include a minimal xorg.conf. - - xserver-xorg-video-intel (2:2.99.917+git20160522-1ubuntu1) yakkety; urgency=medium - * Merge from Debian. - * install-dri3info.diff: Install dri3info with the driver, add libxcomposite-dev - to build-depends. - - xserver-xorg-video-intel (2:2.99.917+git20160522-1) unstable; urgency=medium - * New upstream snapshot. (Closes: #823116) - * fix-fd-leak-when-intel-scrn-create-fails.diff: Fix a failure falling back - on another driver when scrn create fails. - [Regression Potential] - Regression potential here seems minimal. However, as seen in the above Debian changelog, we have a new snapshot which includes several changes since March 25. + remains to be seen === [Original Report] Cursor is visible at unlock screen either after returning from suspend or just locking. After unlocking screen cursor is invisible. Changing to vt1 then back to vt7 (ctrl+alt+f1 then ctrl+alt+f7) cursor returns ==================== no matter if you suspend or sleep, to swap or disk when you return from it, the mouse cursor is missing. you can still move the mouse and you can see (because it highlights the window) as you move it around. But the cursor is not displayed on the screen. i am using a lenovo W540 laptop. I downloaded the latest beta on april 8 2016. this is xubuntu using the xfce window manager. the cursor does return if i log off and log back in, but that actually defeats the purpose of going to sleep. --- ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-04-08 (2 days ago) InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Beta amd64 (20160323) NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_uvm nvidia_modeset nvidia Package: light-locker 1.7.0-2ubuntu1 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_US TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-18.34-generic 4.4.6 Tags: xenial Uname: Linux 4.4.0-18-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: _MarkForUpload: True -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, 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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/elementaryos/+bug/1568604/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
