** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel
  
  Because of bug #462939, I have to disable modesetting using passing with
  grub the option "nomodeset" for the kernel. If this is a workaround for
  bug #462939, it has some weird side effects, among them the fact that
  _after_ the logging, when I end up to the Gnome desktop, my mouse
  pointer is invisible (but exists, one can see icons being selected
  a.s.o.).
  
  The cursor is visible during the logging. So I do not really know if the
  bug is intel driver or gnome...
  
  If I switch to a TTY and back to TTY7, then the pointer is visible
  again.
  
  If I remove the nomodeset option, then pointer is always there.
  
  
  This bug is not a major bug, since switching to TTY and back to desktop does the trick and because if #462939 is fixed, then it will disappear, it is a little bit annoying.
