I think this is a driver issue, though my computer that this occurred on is no longer functional. I was able to get the cursor back by going up to the monitor icon and resetting to monitor resolution. I had the opposite experience: When I rebooted the cursor disappeared, and I had to open "sudo lshw -C" to restore it. I did a complete fresh install on a new hard  drive and now it boots up opens up and subsequently goes screen black with some vertical lines appearing briefly.But an old windows 98 machine shows on the same monitor, proving to me that it's not a monitor issue.
In my case, I'm becoming convinced that my 10 year old computer is either developing video card problems or can't be supported by current drivers.

Subject: [Bug 640878] Re: No cursor upon upgrade reboot

I've been seeing these issues for the past couple days most frequently
on my laptop. I've been restarting the x-server to get the cursor back.
Same symptoms; tracks but there is no pointer. Mine comes back though..
I also lost the cursor on my desktop today for the first time and was
also able to recover it via an X restart.

Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu: New

Bug description:
Since I upgraded  I have no cursor arrow, but the mouse tracks as though behind the screen and I can only  find things ( graphic interfaces, buttons, etc) as they are highlighted by passing the mouse over the screen at random. It's really hard to locate places on the screen. I have re-booted several times, and tried to find a mouse configuration window other than the General tab on the Mouse config window. I didn't make any changes to settings that I'm aware of. 
Installed 10.04 upgrade on 9.03 program. Compaq Pressario, i830 828456/GL Brookdale  chip, Intel Pentium 4 CPU, 2,00 Gb Ram, 
If I re-boot the cursor will not appear until I invoke the following in terminal: sudo lshw -C display, which brings up info on my video card and the cursor arrow appears, though nothing else has changed. It's not permanent, as the same will happen next time I re-boot.
