Well, that would be another chapter of my long battle to fix my discrete card.I have an integrated intel device and a discrete radeon 700 series.I'll try uninstalling the proprietary drivers to settle with the open source alternative (if it works I can even turn the radeon off with KMS and stick to the integrated intel gpu).Thanks for the heads-up.2015-05-01 16:40 GMT-03:00 Francisco M Neto <fmneto@gmail.com>:What is your GPU?
I ran into something very similar when using the discrete GPU on a hybrid setup. If I use the integrated GPU the mouse pointer is there, but when using the discrete GPU it disappears, although the cursor *is* there just as effective as before; I just can't see it.
From what I could gather this is an X.Org issue; perhaps your problem is related. I'm not at my computer right now but I can provide some links later.

I also tried stopping and even uninstalling gnome-settings-daemon (someone did it and it solved the issue for xfce, but that was on ubuntu) and I'm still stuck with this annoying problem.On May 1, 2015 4:03 AM, "Petter Adsen" <petter@synth.no> wrote:On Fri, 1 May 2015 08:59:40 +0200

Sorry. Didn't see the "xfce" part. Can you try switching mouse cursor
theme?
