Description: * Mouse Cursor Disappears In Gnome After Certain Time Idle

Additional info:

I've noticed this problem happens typically after I let the box sit idle for around 15mins., I leave the computer sit, then come back to move the mouse and notice the cursor is gone.

I'm using a Logitech MX500 plugged in USB amd I dual boot with Windows XP and I've never had any mouse problems under XP, so I rule out a defective mouse because it works fine.


* package version(s)
Gnome 2.32.1
xf86-input-evdev-2.5.0-1-i686
xf86-input-mouse-1.6.0-1-i686
libxcursor-1.1.11-1-i686
metacity-2.30.3-1-i686

I'm also running the Nouveau drivers so not sure if this could be causing the problem.

xf86-video-nouveau-0.0.16_git20100819-1-i686
nouveau-dri-7.9-1-i686

I read that people were saying that libxcursor might be the issue and that the previous version fixed the problem, but I can't find 1.1.10 to download and try.

* config and/or log files etc.

Steps to reproduce:

I just let the box sit for any length of time, 15mins or longer and then when I go to use the mouse the cursor is gone.
