[Bug 876520] [NEW] mouse cursor gone

[Dennis Rolke]

Public bug reported:

The mouse cursor is gone when Oneiric starts. The mouse itself is
responding, but the pointer is invisible. Very annoying. I do have a
workaround. One must simply restart the lightdm interface with the
following command in the terminal: "sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm restart".
Mouse cursor is suddenly visible again.

I am using an old ASUS A6000 A6V laptop with the following hardware
