After unlocking system, mouse cursor icon does not appear #191

I can provide machine details if necessary.

Problem: After unlocking my laptop, the mouse cursor does not appear for a while. It's unclear what triggers the cursor to reappear, whether it's just a matter of waiting, maybe for some system daemon to restart back up, or what.

Note: the actual cursor is still available to the system, as I use the trackpad to scroll around the screen I can see things react to the cursor, like tooltips popping up or things getting highlighted.

I just cant see the mouse cursor icon.

It looks like this might be a known issue in the intel driver. First reported: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1568604 Other duplicate: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1573454

A simple every time fix to try is switching to TTY1 and back with Ctrl Alt F1 then Ctrl Alt F7.

Another longer term fix I'm trying is here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1573454/comments/89

Update: removing the intel xserver driver did not resolve the issue,
