Hi,
I have a G4 powerbook currently running 10.3.8 (although the problem
was here in 10.3.7 too).
About once a week when the laptop wakes from sleep the cursor is
invisible. It still functions, the little arrow just isn't present.
It comes back when I "restart".
Things that I've already tried (but haven't worked) are:
- pushing the "detect monitors" button
- logging my account off
- killing the "SystemUIServer.app"
- wait. Okay, I'm not very patient. I have waited but probably
not more than several minutes.
Possibly relevant:
- I am pretty sure that the problem has only ever happened in the
following sequence:
- running happily with a second monitor hooked up
- close the lid to make it sleep
- unplug the extra monitor
- open the lid to wake it from sleep
- cursor is now invisible
- It doesn't happen every time. No more than 1 in 10 times that
I do that exact sequence.
Has anyone seen this before?
Anything else I could try?
Thanks,
Bev
