nVidia driver bug for 6150 onboard VGA card

Almost 9 months after the release of nVidia 6150 chipset, it's linux driver is still far from bug free. From time to time, I will encounter a stange issue at X, where the mouse pointer becomes invisible. The mouse is obviously still workin & it's movement can still be seen when it moves over menu or items on the desktop. It's just invisble.

A search on the net found this bug 182517 filed at redhat. The problem traced back to the nVidia driver. The proble is still unsolved even with nVidia graphic driver release 1.0-8762.

The problem can be patched by adding

Option "HWCursor" "off"

to the VGA driver section at /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Hopefully, it will be resolved in the next nVidia driver release.

My xorg.conf looks like this now:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "Videocard vendor"
BoardName "nVidia Corporation C51 PCI Express Bridge"
Option "HWCursor" "off"
