[Bug 1440422] [NEW] No hardware mouse cursor with modesetting X driver

 

Public bug reported:

Worked with linux-image-3.19.0-9-generic
Does not work with linux-image-3.19.0-12-generic

Adding Option "SWCursor" "on" to xorg.conf makes it work again.

X.Org X Server 1.17.1
Release Date: 2015-02-10

Section "Device"
        Identifier "intel"
        Driver "modesetting"
        Option "SWCursor" "on"
        # Driver "intel"
        # Option "AccelMethod" "none"
EndSection

Not using intel driver because entirely too crashy.
