dmesg and Xorg.0.log

I am a Gentoo user and have the exact same problem as a Debian user which he describes at [1]. His words:

"The mouse pointer simply disappears when I want to log into the system after
locking the screen. After restarting the Xserver, everything backs to normal,
but when I lock the screen again, I won't see the pointer after login. I'm
using lightdm as DM.

I can get the mouse pointer back also when I switch to TTY using ctl-alt-f1 and
then to xsession via ctrl-alt-f7."

The issue appeared between 1.18.1 and 1.18.2, so I bisected. Reverting commit b04767c84deafc44993723add4b1c5163fc11711 by Michel Dänzer solves this particular issue.

Thanks.
