I found that the freeze/cursor disappearance can be some what worked around with alt-tab ; also alt-f2 + r (restarting gnome-shell) sometimes helps. Though it looks like you have it worse. This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
Created attachment 877393 [details] Xorg.0.log Description of problem: In F17 and earlier, I had say 2-3 occurrences of disappearing mouse cursor a year, but after upgrading to F20, it is almost daily, often as many as 3 times a day. I use GNOME with lots of virtual desktops (single monitor), am running full screen gnome-terminal on most of the desktops, firefox on another one, and typically during switching between virtual desktops (Ctrl-Alt-Up/Down) from time to time the mouse cursor goes away and doesn't reappear even because of logging out, or restarting Xorg (Ctrl-Alt-F2, log in on console as root, killall Xorg), the only thing that helps to get mouse cursor back is reboot. Until reboot the only way to spot the mouse cursor is from side-effects it has on various apps (e.g. buttons changing color, links in web browser, etc.) Additionally, quite frequently (e.g. once a day or two) all GUI apps decide to freeze for say 2-5 minutes, the only thing that works during that time is Ctrl-Alt-Fn switching to text console, where it doesn't show any app eating significant CPU, and no swapping is occuring, non-gui apps seems to work normally. After some time I can switch back to X and it becomes normally responsible again. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-ati-7.2.0-3.20131101git3b38701.fc20.x86_64
