Bug Description
When I resume from a suspend, 50% of the times the mouse pointer is invisible.
This is always fixed if I switch to some other VT and then return to X.

A poor man's solution is saving this script as /etc/pm/
#!/bin/bash
case $1 in
resume | thaw)
chvt 1
chvt 7
;;
esac
and then doing "sudo chmod +x /etc/pm/

Thanks Alejandro! Your script works, but I find that the X server sometimes run on vt8 (seems to alternate randomly between and 7 and 8). This additional hack works:
#!/bin/bash
case $1 in
resume | thaw)
tty=`ps axo tty,cmd | grep "/usr/bin/X :0"`
chvt 1
chvt $vt
;;
esac

There is another thread where several people are having the same problem, it seems the following video cards are also affected:-
Mobility Radeon HD 3650
ATI X1400
ATI HD4850
Dell Inspiron 1501 running radeon with an ATI Xpress 200M (just in case someone searches for their laptop name)
My experience is with an
Acer Aspire 3050 with ATI RS482 [Radeon Xpress 200M] so similar card as Original Poster.
Initially incorrectly labelled as radeonhd but corrected in thread to radeon driver.
http://
an additional work around in the above linked thread include:-
switching to another virtual desktop via Ctrl - Alt - right cursor key, then back if need be with left cursor key.
worked for me with default lucid install and desktop wall as standard, though I do have extra ticked in desktop effects and have disabled resume password lock via gconf-editor.

Hi alcarola, I'm interested in the automatic workaround you suggest, to see if it's more convenient than the one I posted here, but I can't find it in the bug you mention. Can you please tell me where to find it? Thanks!

@Alejandro Cura
It's in comment 6 of the bug linked by alcarola, but it points to comment 23 of this bug, containing your workaround.
So there seems to be only one automatic workaround (yours).
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please run the command 'apport-collect 552246' which will attach necessary information for debugging this as an Xorg problem. Thanks in advance.
