[ltp] New issues with mouse pointer/login

Good morning-

I run debian testing on my laptop, a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon 5th 
Generation. Generally it's been flawless (thank you developers!). 
However with the most recent updates, two possibly related issues have 
emerged:

(1) the mouse pointer disappears from the screen when switching between 
windows in Gnome. I have to guess, therefore, which window I'm selecting 
in that mode.

(2) When waking up from sleep mode (opening the laptop), the system 
freezes for roughly 30 seconds; neither trackpad nor keyboard is 
responsive. The system shows the lock screen. After the 30 seconds or 
so, the screen goes black, and at that point moving the trackpad allows 
for regular login.

Neither of these is terrible, of course, but both a bit annoying. Any 
clues or ideas as to what might be wrong?

Thanks for your input.
