Title:
  cursor disappears on one screen of dual monitor setup

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  This issue occurs after the system has been running for several days.
  When I move the mouse onto the primary monitor, the cursor disappears.
  It shows up fine on the secondary monitor.  The invisible cursor issue
  has always occurred on the same monitor.  I can tell that the cursor
  is moving on the primary monitor because the task-bar buttons
  highlight when I mouse over them, but the cursor shape is not visible
  on that monitor.

  Checking dmesg, I see the following messages:

  [530033.364566] [drm] nouveau 0000:02:00.0: EvoCh 0 Mthd 0x0000 Data 0x00000400 (0x0002 0x01)
  [530651.214956] [drm] nouveau 0000:02:00.0: no space while unhiding cursor
  [530651.272312] [drm] nouveau 0000:02:00.0: no space while hiding cursor

  The warning messages about hiding and unhiding the cursor repeat a
  significant number of times.

  I am running VMWare workstation, which installs a proprietary kernel
  module.
