Comment 4 for bug 1248938

Hi Erich,
I can see the same issue and have tried the two things you have said. I am using Ubuntu 13.10 on a system76 DarterUltraThin laptop.

1. Yes. The problem still persists if I disable hardware acceleration.
2. I tried vlc windows with wine and did not see any issue with that.

Also I would like to mention that if I switch to another Virtual Terminal (ctrl+alt+f1-6) and switch back (ctrl-alt-f7), the mouse pointer reappears, but after some time it again disappears and I need to do the same step to make it appear. And I don't know if it is relevant or not but the same bug was in vlc 2.0.8 where mouse used to disappear when any video was opened. It was fixed in vlc 2.1.1(http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2181713).

Let me know i you need any more information.
