Cursor not showing up in 8.10

[dommer]

Most of the time (but not always) my mouse cursor does not show up in 8.10. I can still navigate with my keyboard, but not the mouse. Why might this happen, and how can I address it? Below is my log file.

I have the same problem and tried 9.04 and still have the same issue. I wonder if the OP tried 9.04 yet?

[Spinoza]

Had the same problem myself. Re-starting XBMC usually fixes it, for me.

[ewodzien]

Hmm.. for me, I loose both keyboard and mouse input sometimes when starting XBMC.

I wonder if it is because the KB/mouse drivers haven't completely loaded before starting XBMC? I don't recall having the same problem if I manually start XBMC via double-clicking the icon from the desktop. Perhaps I'll try a delay script.

If anyone can comment and other possible solutions, please let me know. ;)

have the same pointer issue in 9.04. Restart some times seems to fix it

Perhaps I'll try a delay script.


try calling XBMC.exe with -d X (X = seconds to delay)

[ewodzien]

Ahh.. thanks for the tip.. I'll give that a try and report back!
