Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
On an HP Pavillion 6042ca laptop, with the power cord plugged in, my mouse disappears after closing the laptop lid.
I checked the Power settings and it says that on AC power, the computer is supposed to blank the screen. If I wait about 10 seconds or so, the mouse is still there. However if I let the computer sit for more than a minute and open the laptop lid, the mouse pointer disappears. The pointer is still there and working, but the pointer graphic has disappeared and it makes it impossible to use the computer.
I hope most of the details were uploaded in '$ ubuntu-bug xorg' but I have nVidia graphics on my laptop, without the proprietary plugin enabled.
I installed 9.04 fresh and then upgrade to 9.10 around 2009-10-10

Thank you for reporting this issue about xserver- xorg-video- nv. Starting
with Lucid, Ubuntu is transitioning to using the -nouveau video driver
by default instead of -nv. The reason for this change is because
upstream development for the -nv driver has been quite slow. We are
quite pleased with the upstream development speed for -nouveau, and hope
this will translate into swifter bug fixes as well.
Because of this, I'm closing this bug report at this time. I'm marking bugs.freedeskto p.org/.
it wontfix because what you describe is probably a valid issue, but we
do not have further plans to work on it in Ubuntu. If you would still like
to see this issue investigated, I would encourage you to file it
upstream at http://
