Fedora Hardware :: FC13 Mouse Cursor Disappear After Resume From Sleep
Jul 24, 2010
Running FC13 on Dell E6410. Everything was great until I ran the latest update about a week back. I started to see (or actually not see) that after resume from sleep the mouse cursor will disappear. It is there, just not work showing. If i click on left click on the desktop I get the menu, I can also "see" going over windows from time to time as I move it. I'm currently running 2.6.33.6-147.fc13.i686.PAE I think previously it was /vmlinuz-2.6.33.5-124.fc13.i686.PAE Nvidia driver is 195.36.31
I have two monitors set up on my Asus N61J laptop, but have a weird problem:When I move the mouse to right-hand edge of the Left (Primary) screen, it disappears. To get it back, I have to either keep moving it to the next screen, or move it over something that will cause it to change shape.It also happens if I move it to the left-hand edge the Right (Secondary) screen. Anyone have any ideas as to how I can fix this? It's a little annoying, as it makes it hard to select the Logout/Shutdown/Status menu
when I hit the shutdown option... I notice my Hibernate and Sleep button are gone... just the other 3 buttons are there.I wonder if it's certain apps I'm running (that can't be allowed to go into Hibernate) or if it just happens at random for no reason.Has anybody else had this problem? and what is causing this?
"Sleep" is not supposed to permanently kill off the network service. restarting the NetworkManager / network services DOES NOT WORK. Why this blatent and crippling bug is allowed tp persist? I dont want to "rasberry reboot" like windows, this has been the only forced reboot
I've configured my F12 system to go to sleep when idle for a period of time and so far everything has been working out well except that it appears that the USB ports are completely dead with the system is put into sleep. I can't wake it using keyboard or mouse. only with the power button. Anyoen else experience this or know how to allow sleep from keyboard/mouse?
I'm running Gnome with the bluetooth applet and I have to explicitly use the applet, select the mouse and tell it to connect. It automatically connects just fine when I boot into windows.
I have the same problem with both a Microsoft bluetooth mouse 5000 and a "BLUETOOTH HID v1.02 Mouse [Interlink Bluetooth Mouse]".
Just recently I notice this behavior. When the machine sleeps either on timeout or after closing the lid, it doesn't come back on opening or hitting esc etc..
The machine seems to come back to life, but the screen stays black. I even tried Ctl-Alt-F1 with no response.
uname -a yields Linux xxxxxxxxx 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.65-1+deb7u1 x86_64 GNU/Linux
and lsmod for video yieldsvideo 17683 2 i915,nouveau
I'm having trouble getting conky to start automatically after resume from sleep. I've tried putting a copy of my conky startup script into /etc/pm/sleep.d but nothing happened.
I'm sure this doesn't need a new thread but after searching for a bit I didn't find much about this. The problem is this;My system sleeps quite well, I can resume from sleep and get back to the desktop. However. the one thing that doesn't resume is > networking.I can disable> re-enable networking from the NM-applet and it tries again to connect but won't.I can sudo /etc/init.d/ networking restart, which essentially is the same as above. No connectionI've run ifconfig, and the connection is there but no address. Has this bug not been solved? Is it just a driver issue with my particular network card?It's the realtek 8201, part of the VT8237 chipset.Does anyone know what to do about this? I've been avoiding sleep mode on this computer for a very long time because of this bug.
I just bought a Logitech V470 bluetooth mouse. It's no problem to let it work under Koala 9.10 (gnome), but after shutdown/standby/sleep, it doesn't work anymore. With my USB mouse, I have to click the bluetooth icon and select 'switch off bluetooth'. After that, I click 'switch on bluetooth' and bluetooth works again. I thought switching on and off bluetooth with the applet is the same as 'sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth start/stop', but it isn't! The previous command greyes out/in the bluetooth icon, but it doesn't resume my bluetooth. If 'sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart' would work, I would be able to add this line into /etc/pm/sleep.d, so it's automatically loaded on resume.
When my akoya mini E1210 with UNR10.10 resumes after sleep my wifi searches forever and then cuts out. When I do iwconfig the card seems normal for about a minute and then I do iwconfig again it gives gives no id. Reboot and bang, everything perfect. Did make new driver from latest ralink driver, as explained by Sven ,but nu change. Also blacklisted the rt2800 and rt2x00.
Seems that after sleep the wifi card driver is not loaded. Worked like a charm in 9.10 and in 10.4 (upgrade from 9.10). After update to 10.10, it went wrong.
extra: when I do sudo ifconfig ra0 up I get the message "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not permitted" Also, after hibernation, no luck...
in dmesg found that the mailbox keeps MCU active, and rt2860 could not be initialised.:

When Evolution Mail is not used, everything is ok. I know this message is not related to mail, but it helps for a while. After longer period of sleep, same problem again. Firmware problem?
I have upgraded from Ubuntu 9.x to 10.04 LTS after the upgrade, my netbook goes to sleep in a short period of time and makes me login every time i resume. This is very annoying as i have to wait for login and sometimes my wifi connection drops. I just quickly want to check my messages. The delay is annoying and has me using a windows (argh) laptop instead. i miss my ubuntu netbook.
i have tried adjusting power management setting to never go to sleep and adjusted some other power management module from the command line, but with no luck. is there a way to reset the sleep pref's or any way to fix this.
For some reason the mouse curser starts out in the middle of the screen after booting as normal but as soon as i move it, it gets stuck in the top left corner of the screen.It still responds to clicks and i can sometimes see it "wants" to move but itets repositioned into that corner.he problem exists in the live-cd session as well as in the installed session.I looked into the Xorg.0.log file and it said something along the lines of:Code:HID XXXX:XXXX: failed to initialize for relative axesI suspect this to be the culprit, yet i've never had any problems with the mouse in any other operating system (writing from kubuntu 9.10 right now) and i've used most of the popular ones.Is there anything i can do about it? Seems that X is doing things differently in Fedora... There's got to be some switch or something.
stopped using fedora and I can't remember the name of softwares which allow to change the mouse cursor, and others which allows to change the colors of the windows
For the last several days my laptop has been "lagging". When typing (such as now) the cursor will disappear and no letters will appear for a second or I get doubling letters. Example: the word "laptop" will come out as "laaptoppp". When I hover the cursor over a link it will sometimes not highlight it right away. When I scroll up or down in Fire Fox or in my folders the screen will move a little, freeze, and then shoot down (or up) very quickly. Often Ctrl-c simply won't work. Plus several other things that all add up to being very frustrating.
I have the system monitor applet on a panel and I've noticed my CPU spiking periodically to 100%. When it happens it's rythmic, like this: A....A....A....A....A.... and then stops after a while. I've watched the processes and I'm fairly sure it's xorg doing it. My wife complained to me about her desktop doing similar things about a day before I saw that my laptop is doing this. I am fairly computer literate (no expert but no novice either) and I am totally stumped. Back in my Windows days (long, long ago in a...etc. etc.) I'd have said virus but here? Not so sure.
I finally got around to installing Fedora 15 on my HTPC. I noticed that the mouse cursor starts in the upper left corner of the screen as soon as the login screen appears. This means that after login, if I only used the keyboard so far, the Gnome Shell overlay starts immediately.This is at most an interesting quirk until I try to set XMBC to automatically launch. Now I have to press <Esc> or move the mouse to de-activate the overlay before I can use the program.Is this mouse cursor thing intended behaviour, is there some software fix, or is it a hardware quirk? I have a Radeon HD 4650 graphics card (Smolt profile).
Compiz seems to have had a bug where, upon using Compiz as the window manager, the mouse cursor would refuse to properly change after selecting a new theme. The workaround (altering the index.theme in/usr/share/icons/default) used to be a way around the issue... that is, until the latest Nautilus updates. Now even that won't let the cursor change, and I'm stuck with the issue of a Bluecurve cursor inside applications, but the default dmz-aa cursor on the desktop. Has anyone else found a way around this bug?
After resuming from suspend (press power button), display is correct except cursor is not displayed. Mouse responds and I am able to highlight widgets etc. on display and X responds to mouse-clicks correctly.Confirmed it was definitely Xorg-related (radeonhd):Logged out of GNOME then logged back in using 'xterm' desktop.ran pm-suspend(8).pressed power button and cursor was not displayed.Currently using the setting where I use the ctrl key to show the cursor position.

I'm having some problems when playing back videos using Mplayer GUI. When I set the video to the full screen, the mouse pointer won't disappear. I cannot "hide it" either (by trying to move it in a corner of the screen) as it's still slightly visable.
When running videos in full screen using mplayer via command line, or any other GUI-based player (VLC, Xine), as soon as I don't touch keyboard/mouse for few seconds - the pointer disappears as it should. This is MplayerGUI issue-only.
whenever I try to hibernate/sleep my computer and I come out of the sleep, the keyboard is not recognized and stops working altogether and requires a reboot. Changing the USB port does nothing either.
I've just started using OpenSuse 11.2 KDE. I have KDE4.4 installed. I had this issue with KDE 3.4 as well. My HP Multimedia DV3065 laptop is encountering an issue with suspend/restore. After restoring, the mouse is frozen. I have already tried a few things.
1. Dropping to init 1 and then back up to init 5 did not provide a temporary fix. So this is probably hardware related in some sense (kernel?) 2. I tried a grub option (cant remember what it is now). i8500-reset something like that. It made no difference. 3. I tried modifying my 99ZGrub file per another posts suggested solution. That actually locked up my laptop and I could not reboot (even after a cold boot). I pulled the battery and let it sit for a bit and it booted again
So I have several issues.. 1. I would like suspend to restore my mouse. 2. I have not figured out how to program my Sleep button to Sleep. My menu bar icon has Log Out / Restart / Turn Off. The ALT+F1 menu tab Leave has those plus Sleep and Hibernate.
I have been doing alot of work in the terminal lately (mostly just for fun) and I was womdering is there a way to use the mouse cursor in the terminal? So I could select and copy/paste text? I know it can be done because I have seen it in slackware before.
Is there a somewhat straightforward way to get the name or pid of the application that is under the mouse's cursor? What I'm trying to do: This is just a "what if" at this point, I would like to run some script that would obtain the name/pid of any application that the mouse cursor is on, and use xte to assign different functions to different mouse buttons. For instance, assign a given button the Forward or Back function when the cursor is on a browser, but assign a scroll-left or scroll-right to the same button when it's on a spreadsheet. Is there any way to accomplish this, say, in a script that I could run at startup as a background process?
I have been trying for quite some days to change the size and theme of the cursor . I was expecting that there be something in preferences in GNOME v2 but is not there (Is there some enhancement there in GNOME v3?) Anyways, after googling quite a bit, I came across a tip to change the the cursor theme. sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme The thing to do here is choose some alternative theme and logout and login back.
[Code].....
Press enter to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number: I haven't been able to find how to change cursor sizes as well and what the current size is? I did find another command xrdb -query but that also doesn't seem to be much helpful either :-
