[Bug 1428184] [NEW] Invisible mouse pointer after resume from suspend

 

Public bug reported:

I'm using a fresh install of Xubuntu 14.04 (Description: Ubuntu 14.04.2
LTS \ Release: 14.04) with latest updates on a Samsung NP305U1A-A05CO
laptop (AMD E450 with Radeon HD 6320 Graphics)

After the computer is suspended, either by closing the lid, choosing the
option on the menu or by itself after the defined time,  and then when I
wake the computer the mouse pointer is invisible, however the hardware
itself is working as mouse position and clicks continue working, only
the pointer is invisible.

If I switch to a console with Alt+Shit+F1 and switch back to X with
Alt+Shift+F7 the mouse pointer appears and is back to normal.

After installing fglrx 14.50.2 proprietary AMD driver  (doing the
modification explained in http://askubuntu.com/a/543836/378463 to avoid
ocl-icd-libopencl1/wine conflict) including the Catalyst Control Center,
the problem is resolved and now I can suspend and resume the computer
and the mouse pointer is visible after wake up as expected.

people and I have been instructed to file a new bug report.
