I have made another tests. The loss of the cursor is simpler : I only have to modify the brightness using the keyboard, and I loose the cursor without delay. I retried the intel driver 2.6.2-1 (from debian) with SWCursor option without halting the computer and I get again a working cursor that does not disappear. I have tried the driver 2.9.1 (debian version). After having modified the brightness, I still loose the hardware cursor. To retrieve it, I need to reboot the computer if I use the driver with DRI true. But I need only to restart the X server to retrieve it in DRI false mode. I put in attachement a diff of the two log : with DRI no cursor, without DRI cursor. Created attachment 32178 [details]

Does this still occur with current kernels and userspace drivers (both Mesa and 2D driver)? Debian experimental has bits from git, so they should be easy to test. Sorry, I did not succeed in finding the debian experimental packages for intel driver. Moreover what do you mean exactly with "current kernels and userspace drivers (both Mesa and 2D driver)" Thanks. I mean a recent kernel, e.g. 2.6.32.x or 2.6.33-rc, and 2.10 of the xf86-video-intel driver, and a recent version of mesa like 7.7. timeout. assuming this is fixed or no longer relevant. I have update my debian testing distribution to libdrm-intel1 2.4.18-3 libdrm2 2.4.18-3 xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.9.1-3 xserver-xorg 1:7.5+5 xserver-xorg-core 2:1.7.6-2 and I get still the same problem. The 2.10 or 2.11 is not even in unstable debian distribution so I cannot test it easily. Moreover, I have test KMS with 2.9.1, and the screen get blank (registered panic notifier). Since I have read that the non KMS part has been remove from 2.10 xorg driver, I think I will not be able to test anything with a more recent driver. |

Created attachment 31327 [details] Xorg.0.log I use a X200 Dell computer with 830 intel graphic card. For long time (years), I used the software cursor since the hardware one disappears after some time. With recent xorg, I'm force to use the hardware cursor. It seems that the cursor is lost when "quite" all the RAM is used. The easiest way is to use gimp with a lot of memory used. I can loose the cursor 3 minutes after X is launched. But I can still have the cursor present for one week (with s2disk hibernation). I'm using a 2.6.30-2 debian kernel (and recently a 2.6.26-2 one) and a 2.9.0 xorg intel driver. But I know this problem for years. I have seen nothing in the log. computer : dell x200 laptop graphic card : intel 830 uname -m : i686 distribution : debian kernel : (a lot) 2.6.30-2 debian libdrm-intel1 : 2.4.14-1+b1 xserver-xorg-video-intel : 2:2.9.0-1 xserver-xorg : 1:7.4+4
