Dear Maintainer,

I am not sure, if it is related. On my system the mouse cursor fully disappears after a visual effect (i.e. exploding windowin plasma), but I also noticed a disappearing mouse cursor in XFCE (no effects activated).

For me, it looks like the mouse driver is completely stopped, as both mice do not work any more than, neither touchpad nor the external mouse. I could not find any entries in the log related to this issue.

The external mouse can be recovered by removing and putting back the usb-dongle for the mouse.

This is of course not possible with the built in touchpad. 

Resarting X let both mice appear again.


With xorg (X11), everything is working fine.

Hope this helps. 

Best regards

Hans
