New to opensuse (came from lmde) Seems sometimes when the display is off for awhile, when i move the mouse to turn back on, the mouse pointer (arrow) is not visable. I need to reboot the system to get it back. This is not good…Any ideas?
Thanks!!!

lots of things are different here…may take some patience to hang in
until it gets ‘easy’ again…
your symptoms sound like a video problem…i guess if you turn off
desktop effects the problem will go away…try it: Personal Settings -
Desktop Settings > Desktop Effects > General, uncheck “Enable desktop
effects” then click “Apply” and give it a look see…
ok, so i know you really want all that cool desktop effects stuff…so,
maybe you can have all of that and you mouse without rebooting…you
could try working your way through this video driver mine-field:

but, truth is: i know that was all swell for 11.4 but i’m not certain
how it gets on will 12.1, so you might weigh carefully which you had
rather have:
-
a fully functional, but no desktop effects, 12.1 with a mouse which
is still around after the display is off -
a busted system…
hmmmmm–alternatively you might try a different way to have the “display
off for a while”…that is, i do not know if you are (for example)
locking the desktop, or letting the power saving function shut down
the monitor, or having the screen saver blank the screen, or you are
pushing the power switch on the monitor to turn the display off, or or
or or…but, i’m just suggesting there are numerous ways to have a
“display off for a while”…
the one which saves the most electricity/battery, etc is probably to
suspend/hibernate the who she-bang…i usually just turn off the
monitor, with its power switch…
ymmv
