Ubuntu :: Intel I915 Graphics - Mouse Pointer Disappears?

Sep 3, 2010

I have had continued issues with my graphics: [URL]... Now, after an update manager update, I have a new issue. My mouse cursor disappears when I use my external monitor beyond a given resolution. Also, my settings for the laptop monitor are incorrect (will not let me select the true laptop native resolution). I even had an instance when I had mirrored images, but saw the mouse pointer only on the laptop screen, but not on the external monitor. I also recently did the suggestion to

Code:
gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="i915.modeset=0 quiet splash"

Which had caused issues when I was previously running Ubuntu in dual boot with WIN XP. I am now on standalone Ubuntu 10.04. I reversed the grub edit, but the problem persists. Currently, I have to keep my external monitor at a much lower resolution for mouse pointer to show up, or use the CTRL key to show mouse pointer location feature in higher resolutions. All other aspects of the higher resolution for the external monitor work well...just that my mouse cursor does not show up.

Ubuntu :: Window Disappears When Move Mouse Pointer Away?

Feb 23, 2011

I'm relatively new to Ubuntu and I have a question. I have compiz config settings manager and I did some changes there but I've noticed now that for example when a skype chat window is open and when I move my mouse pointer away, the window disappears. It's not exactly like disappearing cause when I hover over the window, it shows itself but it's pretty annoying ;/ I've changed so many settings but no result

Fedora :: 12 - Mouse Pointer Disappears On Second Screen But Only Sometimes

Jul 15, 2010

I'm running 12, not 11. I don't know why I had 11 in my head. Can this be moved BACK from EOL? If not, I'll start a new thread. Sorry. My wife and I have matching HP EliteBook 8730w "mobile workstations" (laptops that need a donkey to move them). We also have matching LG second screens. Unfortunately, we have matching mouse pointer issues too, as you might expect.

99% of the time we work away without issue. 1% of the time, Fedora suddenly stops showing the mouse pointer in the separate LG screen. The pointer is there, you can use it (if you can guess where the hell it is!) but you can't see it. Only a reboot seems to solve the problem.

It's worth noting xorg.conf is not being used. It's an nVidia card in these laptops and I tried the latest drivers from them - they totally wiped out the display, I mean total FAIL, unusable. Had to boot up in without GNOME, run level 3, to fix it. After much messing around, I think I used the FirstAidKit plugin for xserver to repair things. Since then there is no xorg.conf:

[Code]....

If I restore *any* xorg.conf file it all goes wrong again, so I'm guessing there are either some defaults at play or there's another system currently managing my display. Either way, restoring/editing xorg.conf won't help me with the current set-up.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Mouse Pointer Disappears In 11.2

Feb 19, 2010

No matter what kernel I select to boot into, eventually I lose the mouse pointer visibility. If I move the mouse around, stuff does get highlighted, I just can't see the pointer as it moves. CTRL/ALT/BKSP does bring up a logout menu (doesn't kill X, tho), and I can tab thru it...time wasting, although it does come back from a restart with all the windows as before.

I'm running Gnome. Cpu is AMD Athelon 64 3800+ OS is 32 bit. I didn't normally have this problem before. Do I need to return to 11.0 ? Is this a Gnome problem or an X problem. I seem to remember that KDE4 had a utility that would grab the pointer from the ether and stick it back on the screen

OpenSUSE :: KDE Mouse Pointer Disappears On Resolution Change / Fix It?

Mar 2, 2010

I installed Suse 11.2 recently, and i have my laptop hooked up to a HD monitor.
When i choose the HD monitor, if the resolution is low, lets say 1280x800, same as my laptop, its fine. I see the mouse pointer.

But as soon as i change the resolution to 1920x1080, the pointer disappears. Mouse functionality works allright. Right click/left click works fine, and i can see the buttons getting highlighted on mouse-ever.
But the pointer is gone.

Fedora :: Kernel Update To 2.6.31.6 Destroys Intel I915 GFX

Dec 2, 2009

Happening right now on a Fedora XII 64 Bit:The latest Fedora kernel update (from today, 2009/12/01 - coming from fedora updates [not update-testing]) destroys my Intel GM45 (= i915 kernel driver) so much that I

1. Have no plymouth dooring booting (just this blue textmode lines on the bottom)

2. Have a completley black KDE screen (only my colorshaded windows shadows appear, if I rightclick into the darkness - with no contents) - that's however a composite effect which strangely enough works (Alt f2 reveals for the 10th of a second the "start application"-window and vanishes)

3. If I change to a tty console (eg.via CTRL ALT F5), in 3 of 5 tries the screen does not manage to change to the new video mode and flickers insanely (switching back betwwen CTRL ALT F1 [x-server] and CTRL ALT F5 [tty] a couple of times helps) which tells me that...

- at least KMS is gone.
- 3D-Compositing is completly messed up resulting in a unusable complete black GUI

However, beside this

4. the KDM login screen appears in its full beauty and so does the "KDE loading" thing. Going back to kernel 2.6.31.5 makes any of this disappear and working nicely (I defaulted this in grub now). The computer is a lenovo thinkpad SL500 (cheap intel dualcore 64Bit CPU) with intel GMA4500 chipgraphics (if its not something with my linux configuration it should affect other similar notebook types too).

I really use fedora on my notebook (right now with kernel 2.6.31.5). My desktop uses a radeon HD 4870 - big bad luck with fedora 12: The radeon driver is not able to show KDE windows the right way (looks really really bad - even with those "experimental" Mesa settings-trick) and the unfree AMD driver does not work under fedoras high X Server version (which may be better this way! ) . So I end up using windows on it, waiting for a decent radeon driver to kickstart a decent 64bit linux (fedora still being first choice as the right compromise between cutting edge and usability)...

Fedora Hardware :: I915 Chipset Graphics Hang?

Debian Multimedia :: DisplayLink USB Graphic Adapter With Intel I915

Jun 6, 2014

I'm trying to set up an HP DisplayLink USB graphic adapter on Debian 6 to be paired with the notebook's integrated Intel i915 video card. I use a custom 3.11.1 kernel in which the options for VGA arbitration, fbdev framebuffer and DisplayLink driver are enabled as built-in, not as modules.

The device works and I'm able to correctly run an X session on a DVI monitor connected to my notebook thru this USB graphic adapter. However, I'm still not able to use both the DisplayLink device and the integrated Intel i915 at the same time under X, with the purpose to extend the desktop area over the two screens, side by side.

During a boot, if the DisplayLink adapter is detected over the USB cable, the X-server's Intel driver is repudiated as shown in the logs below, and the main notebook's screen stops working with X. (nonetheless, it still functions on the "Alt-F1" text terminal).

Relevant portion of /var/log/Xorg.0.log
In particular, it shows: [ 2509.084] (II) UnloadModule: "intel"
Code: Select all[  2509.061] (II) FBDEV: driver for framebuffer: fbdev
[  2509.061] (II) intel: Driver for Intel Integrated Graphics Chipsets: i810,
        i810-dc100, i810e, i815, i830M, 845G, 854, 852GM/855GM, 865G, 915G,
        E7221 (i915), 915GM, 945G, 945GM, 945GME, Pineview GM, Pineview G,

[Code] ....

In case it is required, this is the relevant excerpt of my xorg.conf. In my full xorg.conf file installed locally, no other options deal with graphics or screens.

Code: Select all# All down here is required for DisplayLink
# Depth must be 16 bits for all the screens to support DisplayLink

Slackware :: Get Penguin Logo On Boot With Intel KMS? (i915 Driver)

Jul 6, 2010

In the past, I've rebuilt the kernel with the i915 driver built-in, and that works fine. But is there any way to do this without recompiling your kernel? I read that I shouldn't use vga=XXX with Intel KMS.

I tried adding the i915 module to my initrd, but that gives me an error message on boot. Something like "Unable to initialize the agpgart module"

Debian Installation :: I915 Not Loading By Default - Hybrid Graphics Nvidia

Nov 10, 2014

I'm on an HP envy with with hybrid graphics configuration. I installed debian 7.7 from DVD, but it failed to load i915 driver on its own. It loaded nouveau. But gnome falls back to classic mode. There is not brightness control either.I tried adding i915 to /etc/modules and also blacklisted nouveau at the command line. Now i915 gets loaded, but with some hickups as shown in dmesg. Still I'm in fallback mode in gnome.

Code: Select alljay@aura-envy:~$ dmesg | grep drm

[   16.161706] [drm:i915_init] *ERROR* drm/i915 can't work without intel_agp module!

So I went ahead and added intel_agp (before i915 line) to modules file, but still no luck. I suspect there is no module called intel_agp at the first place, because :

Code: Select alljay@aura-envy:~$ sudo modinfo intel_agp

Ubuntu :: Mouse Pointer Points With The Bottom Of The Mouse And Not The Upper Tip Of The Point

Oct 5, 2010

I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my HP Pavilion a320n computer with a ps2 mouse and the mouse pointer points with the bottom of the mouse and not the upper tip of the point. It does the same thing with Ubuntu 10.04.1. In Windows 7 and XP the mouse is normal. I don't know how I could adjust it or is this just a bug in the OS?

Fedora :: How To Make Mouse Pointer Less Sensitive To Mouse Movements

Jul 9, 2010

I'm running FC12 and GNOME.If I move the physical mouse about one inch, the mouse pointer moves across the entire screen.That's way too fast and way to sensitive.I prefer the mouse pointer to move far less distance on the screen when the physical mouse is moved.

From System->Preferences->Mouse, I set the various mouse Pointer Speed acceleration and Sensitivity to Slow, Fast, Low, High, and and I couldn't get it any better. At the least sensitive settings. if I move the physical mouse one inch, the mouse pointer moves across the entire screen.How can make the mouse pointer less sensitive to mouse movements?

OpenSUSE Hardware :: 11.3 On Intel Core I5 With Integrated Graphics + Intel H55 Express Chipset

Aug 18, 2010

! I'm thinking of buying a corei5-660 on a motherboard with an Intel H55 Express Chipset. Does anyone know if it's fully compatible with OpenSUSE 11.3? I mean video (that comes from the processor, not an off-board PCI), audio (HD Audio), networking (Intel� 82578DC Gigabit), SATA Controller, USB, etc. I've tried to google but didn't find much info so I wonder if anyone is using or knows where I can find more info about it...

I have found this thread on the forums about the H55 chipset: Core i3 Intel Clarkdale graphic controller problem But the problems were facing on 11.2, I don't know about 11.3...

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Intel HD Graphics (Intel Core I3) With Suse 11.3 - Poor Resolution

Jan 2, 2011

I've installed Suse linux 11.3 (kernel 2.6.34.7-0.5) on my brand new computer HP all in one 5130. Everything worked incredibly well : Wifi, wireless keyboard and mouse, sound, webcam.. There is only one remaining issue : I get a very poor resolution (1280x1024) instead of the 1920x1080 allowed by the screen. The graphic card is an intel chipset (HD graphics) integrated to an intel core i3 CPU. Here is (part of) the X11.org log :

but even then you have to install a whole lot of files to change one pointer and i see no way of making/installing my own is there a more straightforward way? ubuntu/linux are about freedom and here i am at the moment very restricted

Ubuntu :: Mouse Pointer Causes Pixel Error

Jan 28, 2010

I've just installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my wife's old notebook, a Sony Vaio PCG-FX705, by wiping the HDD (i.e. no more Windows ). The problem is that there's some weird display error that reminds of a TFT with pixel errors, although that's no the cause. I got a screenshot of it here (made with a digicam), and here is a close-up of it.

One thing I've noticed is that this error starts at the mouse pointer's tip and goes right when the computer is booted. Also, when using Blank Screen as screensaver, the error disappears once the screen went blank until I press a key or move the mouse, at which point the error will re-appear at the mouse pointer's current location. The only way I found so far to temporarily fix this problem is to change display resolution. It doesn't matter which resolution I use, all that matters is that I change it.

I do have problems with the graphics (Intel 4500) which sometimes at reproducable cases stops responding. (When trying to update graphically and having to answer a question in a child window to the main window). Is this problem a wine setting or something with x11 or compiz or ?
