Bug Description

I am running 6.10 on a Dell Inspiron 1150, P4, 512MB machine. Every time I put the laptop on "stand-by" mode, upon resuming the mouse-pointer becomes invisible. It's presence can be inferred as moving around on the screen highlights icons/links.

The mouse-pointer reappears on logging out and in (Alt+Ctrl+Del).

I manage to solve this mouse pointer problem by increasing the video memory on the BIOS settings of my laptop from 1MB to 8MB.

Now the mouse pointer does NOT disappear when I:
- come back from console.
- come back from suspend & hibernation

Hope this information helps! It worked for me.
