After installing a new kernel form gentoo-sources-2.6.35-r1 I got no visible mouse pointer on X (xorg-server-1.8.2) on my ThinkPad X40 I use icewm-1.2.37 but tried fvwm-2.5.30 and it is the same thing. It's possible to use the pointer - you just can't see it. The last working kernel is: gentoo-sources-2.6.34-r4 (34-r5 did not compile on the x40 - never happend before) With the Kernel from gentoo-sources-2.6.35 I've got the same problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install and compile gentoo-sources-2.6.35-r1 on the Thinkpad X40 2. start xorg-server-1.8.2 with icewm-1.2.37 or vwm-2.5.30 - probably with any window-manager 3. Actual Results: It's not possible to see the mouse pointer, but you can use it to point and klick in any usual way. Expected Results: After starting X you see the mouse pointer on the screen. gpm works on the tty-console It's possible that the problem has todo with the i915 (Intel Graphics) Kernel driver since someone heavily worked on that one. Someone reportet the same problem for Debian: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=592955

As a workaround you may be able to use the software cursor (Option SWCursor in xorg.conf).
Please file a bug upstream[1] and please paste the URL here so we can track the issue. Thanks [1] http://intellinuxgraphics.org/how_to_report_bug.html
(In reply to comment #5) > As a workaround you may be able to use the software cursor (Option SWCursor in > xorg.conf). > I tried that and it did not help. I also tried Option HWCursor before and it didn't work either. But as a workaroud I use Kernel gentoo-sources-2.6.34-r4
(In reply to comment #6) > Please file a bug upstream[1] and please paste the URL here so we can track the > issue. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29673 I hope I did well there - 'cause fore me it's not easy to say if its a 3d issue. It should have to do something with kms. Fore entering the bug I had to decide: Mesa or Xorg and entered it in Mesa. I opted for the latter because according to the "How to file a good bug report 2.1" they seem to be interested in the chipset only there...? I just believe to know that most of the work was done in here: drivers/gpu/drm/i915
