[Bug 1405713] Re: [Dell Vostro 3010][AMD Radeon 8240 / R3 Series][1002:9839] With the open-source graphic driver, cursor disappears after screen rotation

 

Po-Hsu Lin, as per http://www.dell.com/support/home/hk/en/hkbsd1
/product-support/product/vostro-20-3010-aio/drivers an update to your
computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (A04). If you update to
this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it
change anything?

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible, and the
information above is provided, then please mark this report Status New.
Otherwise, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  [Dell Vostro 3010][AMD Radeon 8240 / R3 Series][1002:9839] With the
  open-source graphic driver, cursor disappears after screen rotation

Status in xserver-xorg-video-ati package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  CID: 201401-14509 Dell Inspiron 3010

  Steps:
  1. Install 14.04.1 + update
  2. Rotate the display with the "Display" applet in system settings

  Expected result:
  * Rotation should work as expected.

  Actual result:
  * Rotation works, but the cursor will become invisible when you rotate back to "Normal".

  Reboot could make the cursor visible again.
