[ltp] mouse pointer missing after resume

[come se fosse antani]

Hi.
I had no problems in the last year with my x40 (debian unstable, now
2.6.18 vanilla) with suspend on ram.
after a dist-upgrade I've the following issue with S3:
- on resuming everything works except that my mouse cursor on X is missing

I tried to switch on a tty before suspend and, when resuming, I can't
see anything on my terminal but switching to X with ctrl-alt-f7 X is
still there and the mouse pointer too.

I'm pretty sure that months ago I've read something about a similar
problem, but now I can't find anything.

Any suggestion?

thanks
