Re: Mouse disappeared after update to squeeze 6.0.1
I have done some more tests. When upgrading linux-base the pointer is
still visible.
It doesn't matter using the touchpad or a mouse connected by USB. The
point is, that the pointer is not visible. But by moving the mouse you
can trigger the mouse over events of buttons, when klicking with the
right button the context menu is opened and so on.
I only have a integrated gfx-chip from Intel in my subnotebook.

After installing all updates on the weekend the mouse pointer

Klicking and moving was possible - but without seeing the pointer, it
was quite hard do know where you are.
I downgraded package for package. Now I can say, that when doing this step:
[AKTUALISIERUNG] linux-base 2.6.32-30 -> 2.6.32-31
[AKTUALISIERUNG] linux-headers-2.6.32-5-686 2.6.32-30 -> 2.6.32-31
[AKTUALISIERUNG] linux-headers-2.6.32-5-common 2.6.32-30 -> 2.6.32-31
[AKTUALISIERUNG] linux-image-2.6.32-5-686 2.6.32-30 -> 2.6.32-31
after a reboot the mouse pointer is not showed. After installing the
packages in version 2.6.32-30 it is back again.
I am using kde and kdm. But I for testing I have installed gdm and xfce
- the mouse was not visible there, too.
While starting a program, the "jumping" icon is showed and can be moved
- like nothing is wrong.
I'm not sure if this is the right list, but I thought I will try.
If you need more information just ask about it.
I cannot reproduce your problem. I am running Wheezy with the exact same
stock Debian kernel image: linux-image-2.6.32-5-686, version 2.6.32-31,
and my mouse pointer works fine. I am using GNOME and the nv driver.
I also have gpm installed for using the mouse in a text console. My mouse
is a standard 2-button PS/2 mouse connected to a standard PS/2 mouse port
on the back of the machine (Intel 8042 keyboard/mouse controller chip).
What kind of mouse are you using?
