<pre>On my system the mouse cursor disappears if I lock the screen and unlock it
again. The GPU, according to lspci, is:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT Integrated
Graphics Controller (rev 0b)
This is a Gentoo system, that currently uses a snapshot of the xf86-video-intel
driver (from 20160407). This bug also appears with the latest git code from
today. It does not appear if I downgrade to 2.99.917.
I tried to git-bisect the commit that introduced this bug, but it was
impossible, because most of the time the driver simply wouldn't compile.
The screen locker I'm using is light-locker, started by a combination of lxde
and lightdm. The way it works is - as far as I know - that the screen gets
locked on console 7, a new X instance gets started on console 8 and that shows
the passwort prompt. So I assume this happens somehow related to the switching
between different X instances. Interestingly the mouse cursor is still there on
the password prompt.</pre>
