Bug Description

Running fully-updated Lucid Lynx on Dell Dimension 4500s with USB wired mouse, there is no mouse pointer at all initially after boot. It will stay that way for about 10 minutes or so and then re-appear. Sometimes it disappears again though.

Tried changing the mouse pointer size thinking it would refresh something but this didn't work.

Killing and restarting Metacity seems to bring it back but even this is unpredictable.

lufis, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-input-evdev REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.
