All ACPI stuff works fine in kernel 2.6.12-1.1398_FC4. I used the fnfx ( http://fnfx.sf.net ) daemon that came with FC4 for Fn keys. Recently, I upgraded to kernel 2.6.13-1.1526_FC4. Now, when I switch the display to an external monitor or LCD projector and switch back, the cursor disappears. I have a simple USB optical mouse and a Synaptics Touchpad, Mouse : usb 2-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 input: USB HID v1.10 Mouse [USB_PS2 Optical Mouse] on usb-0000:00:1d.0-1 Touchpad : model: 1, fw: 6.2, id: 0x88a0b1, caps: 0xa04713/0x0 The cursor disappears completely. However, when I move my mouse, icons get highlighted ( as if the cursor is over them ). On double clicking, the icons work. This means that the driver and device is working fine. Only the cursor is missing. I am also running xorg-x11 version 6.8.2, release 37.FC4.49.2 Regards, Mahendra Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.13-1.1526_FC4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Switch the display to an external monitor or LCD projector 2.Move the mouse 3.The cursor would have disappeared.

2.6.14-1.1637_FC4 has been released as an update for FC4. Please retest with this update, as a large amount of code has been changed in this release, which may have fixed your problem. Thank you.
