Ugh, I missed your message that was in the spam folder. Surprised I've
gone this long without looking.

I was surprised to see there was a BIOS update, so I'll be taking care
of that.

I actually just encountered the mouse issue again while watching a
video. I also find that it'll also disappear when I move inside a
terminal window, but I think it'll reappear when I click in the window.
It did NOT reappear when I completely lost it while watching the video
though.

I ran the dmidecode anyway just to see but got "/dev/mem: No such file
or directory".

I'll get back at it when I wake up. I'm up way too late and am getting
punchy.

Title:
  Mouse Cursor Invisible

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  My first experience was while using kernel 3.9.21 which I upgraded to today.
  I read about "gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.cursor active false", but it didn't bring it back (I did not reboot).
  Then I also read about CTRL-ALT-F1 -> F7 and it came back.

  Then I built my own kernel 4.0, rebooted and straight away the mouse cursor was nowhere to be seen (don't remember if it was visible during login).
  Right away I tried CTRL-ALT-F1 -> F7 and that did nothing. Luckily items will highlight when hovered over, so I got my browser up and also brought up the terminal to try gsettings again, but to no avail.
  That's when I tried ubuntu-bug report and at the very last stage when I'm about to press "Send", the cursor shows up.

  I went ahead and sent the report anyway in hopes that the capturing
  part of the report would show the visibility issue.
