Comment 27 for bug 552058

I was able to get the cursor to show after suspend and optionally eliminate screen graphics tearing on my gateway lt3103u running 10.04 in this manner:

save your work as this will restart X and close all windows, use with caution or you can screw up your X display

ctl alt f6

-start a root shell

sudo bash

service gdm stop

Xorg -configure

note where xorg.conf.new is generated in the information listed

service gdm start

-back to a root shell

sudo bash

cp <path where it was generated>/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf

gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Add the appropriate Option in the section below:

Example:
Section "Device"
        #text cut for brevity.....................................
        Identifier "Card0"
        Driver "radeon"
        VendorName "ATI Technologies Inc"
        BoardName "RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series]"
        BusID "PCI:1:5:0"

        #Option: You may not need this one if your graphics are fine:
        #This eliminates graphics tearing and jumbling on my gateway lt3103u
        Option "RenderAccel" "False"

        #Option: This allows the cursor to show after suspend
        Option "SWcursor" "True"
