Bug#920864: mouse invisible lightdm intel graphics
Package: lightdm
Version: 1.18.3-1
At first login after boot the mouse pointer will disappear. It still works but is invisible. Logout and login again will bring the mouse pointer back. This behavior is new after I updated stretch today - presumably to stretch 9.7
With some web reasearch I found this to be an old well known problem with lightdm and intel graphic chips. I can provide three web links which seem helpful:
