[Bug 1467595] Re: cursor sometimes disappears on XPS 13 9343 and external monitor
Thanks for the additional workaround. I didn't happen to have this enabled so I had to:
$ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.mouse locate-pointer true

Bug description:
I have a new Dell XPS 13 9343 with the HiDPI touch screen and am using
an external display port monitor. Occasionally, the mouse cursor
disappears (sometimes after screen lock, other times just normal
usage). I saw something on stack exchange that said this might help:
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.cursor active false
I've done this and it sometimes helps and sometimes doesn't. I've also
just seen the cursor come back on its own after a few minutes without
doing anything. Trying to interact with the touch screen, then the
mouse has no effect. Unplugging and replugging the mouse has no
effect. Using the touchpad has no effect.
