Title:
Mouse cursor disapear / mouse stops working, when switching user
Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I have upgraded to Ubuntu 13.10 Gnome3 amd64, from Ubuntu 13.04 x86 where I used both Unity, KDE and Gnome, and in the old setup it worked fine.
Now when I select switch user , I come out to the login screen and the mouse cursor is gone.
Switching back to the first user the mouse is back.
If the second user with no cursor runs:
sudo modprobe -r psmouse
sudo modprobe pmouse
the mouse works again, but then it stops working for the first user.
It could alse be that the cursor is still ther but it doesn't move.
I run a Dell laptop with a Synaptics touchpad.
What can I do to provide more information?
