Description Brad Taylor 2010-01-27 16:54:04 UTC 
Running Metacity (2.28.0-2.5.2.i586) with or without compositing enabled, the cursor is not shown on the screen on first boot.  I will note that I can still move the mouse and click buttons -- albeit with some difficulty -- even though I can't see where I'm pointing.  

Switching the cursor type in the Appearances capplet does not remedy the situation.  The only workaround I've found is to switch to VT1 and back to VT7.  Clearly, this is sub-optimal.

Once I get a working cursor after switching VTs, if I do anything xrandr related (let's say undock my laptop from the main screen), the cursor goes away again.

I'm running the latest openSUSE 11.2 (xorg-x11-7.4-35.3.i586) using a T61 with full Intel GM965 graphics.
