Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.17 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

Tested (partially) against upsteam kernel 3.17.

Works OK (as far as I can tell) in that mouse works on "greeter" screen, which it doesn't with standard 14.4 kernel (3.13.0-34 currently).

Can't get to main desktop because using proprietary NVidia drivers and had problems trying to install 2x header packages, and so couldn't compile.

I have the same issue which resolves by reloading the driver. This started after I upgraded to 14.04.
I am running Lubuntu on a DELL FX160. Graphics controller = Intel 915GM/GMS/910GML.
The mouse cursor is shown on my screen but does not move until I reload the driver.
relevant lines in syslog:

Same issue here on System76 Lemu2, 14.04.1 with Kernel 3.13.0-36-generic.

On boot:

After reload

I just tested out a few prior trusty kernels, ended up back at my latest (3.13.0-36-generic). This time I couldn't reproduce my issue on any of my installed kernel versions...
