Description of problem: I have a compaq pressario v3029 AMD64 dual processor. Running Dual boot Fedora 7 (64 bit) and win XP SP@ 32 bit. When I boot into linux sometimes the mouse pointer simply vanishes when the x windows starts up! This is strange.. then when I reboot again.. it reappears! I have noticed this problem even on earlier versions of fedora core and even different versions of the f7 kernel. This is a bug that definitely needs attention. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Experiencing the same problem on a Dell Optiplex 740 with AMD X2. Fresh install of Fedora 7 (32-bit). Pointer is visible until the Gnome login screen where it becomes invisible.
WORKAROUND: Add Option "HWCursor" "off" to xorg.conf (Device section). Other workaround: Disabling RHGB also appears to work.
Is this bug related to the 915resolution package at all? Nothing I'm seeing here indicates that it is.
