[SOLVED] No mouse in display manager?

MikeDacre · 2014-06-14 00:28:27

Hi All,

I just installed a basic arch linux system on a Dell PowerEdge T620. I also installed GNOME and xfce4. Both desktop environments are working fine when logged in, but I am having trouble with the mouse in various display managers (so far, GDM and SLiM).

The mouse works fine in the actual desktop environment (gnome-session and xfce4-session). xf86-input-mouse is installed.

Note: the mouse actually works - if I randomly click around for a while I eventually hit a button. I just can't see the mouse pointer, so I don't know where it is.

I am not sure what other information is required to debug this, let me know and I will provide it.

Thanks,

Mike

Very odd, after two days and a couple of miscellaneous upgrades - nothing related to xorg - it just started working again.

No idea what happened. Marking as solved though.

Arch Linux
