Comment 365 for bug 541511

René Gabriëls: Did you happen to come across something regarding the mouse cursor mysteriously being on strike? Upgraded drm-intel-next kernel/v9 patch and userspace drivers (xf86-video-intel/libdrm) to git head and ran into the same problem (I assume the problem is somewhere in kernel code, as going back to 2.6.34 brings back the cursor).

Also +1 to GPU hanging, but couldn't find any flush-related messages in dmesg, so I assume I'm simply running into some other problem once again. Much to my delight I also noticed that the intel driver now seems to fall back to software rendering when the GPU is hung, so at least I can still work without everything going down the drain. Very nice work.
