Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel
in Ubuntu 9.04. updating from "xserver-xorg-video-intel_2:2.9.0-1ubuntu2~xup~1_i386.deb" to "xserver-xorg-video-intel_2:2.9.0-1ubuntu2~xup~3_i386.deb" caused the mouse pointer to be invisible after boot under gdm.
Under xfce there is no problem.
Opening a terminal (blindly) and just typing a CR from the command line would restore the pointer.
Going back to "xserver-xorg-video-intel_2:2.9.0-1ubuntu2~xup~1_i386.deb" solved the problem.

Hi rl06,
Please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn` and `dmesg`, and attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log (and maybe Xorg.0.log.old) file from after reproducing this issue. If you're using a custom /etc/X11/xorg.conf please attach that as well.
