Nouveau - Oct 2011 - [Bug 41644] New: Mouse pointer flickering/disappearing on NV05

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41644

           Summary: Mouse pointer flickering/disappearing on NV05
           Product: xorg
           Version: git
          Platform: x86 (IA32)
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Driver/nouveau
        AssignedTo: nouveau at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: albertpool at solcon.nl
         QAContact: xorg-team at lists.x.org


Micro-Star MS-8806 card with Riva TNT2 chip. The card hadn't been used for
years; the fan had to blow a lot of dust away before it would run quietly.
It's
working fine with Nouveau, even Google Earth and a couple of Compiz effects
work (though compiz-check says that the card is unsupported). But there's an
irritating issue with the mouse pointer.

The mouse pointer often flickers or disappears when I do not move the mouse.
When moving the mouse it appears again.

I have already sent my VBIOS to mupuf.

The problem seems to become less serious when running Compiz instead of
Metacity.

With the 3.1 kernel it has improved a bit. Now the pointer only disappears when
clicking something, or when a new window opens and covers the pointer.

In my opinion the card is now suitable for basic desktop use.

It appears that this bug report has laid dormant for quite a while. Sorry we
haven't gotten to it. Since we fix bugs all the time, chances are pretty
good
that your issue has been fixed with the latest software. Please give it a shot.
(Linux kernel 3.10.7, xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.9, mesa 9.1.6, or their git
versions.) If upgrading to the latest isn't an option for you, your
distro's
bugzilla is probably the right destination for your bug report.

In an effort to clean up our bug list, we're pre-emptively closing all bugs
that haven't seen updates since 2011. If the original issue remains, please
make sure to provide fresh info, see http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Bugs/
for what we need to see, and re-open this one.

Thanks,

The Nouveau Team
