/etc/init.d/gdm restart
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nv/+bug/63905>

pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1 then Ctrl-Alt-F7

opening Leafpad and then typing something (or just pressing the spacebar) brings back the cursor (press Ctrl-Alt-T and then type leafpad to open it).

Bring up a terminal, Ctrl+Alt+t. Hit return in the terminal window and the mouse pointer reappears.
