Linux Mint 17.1 Cinnamon 2.4 mouse cursor disappear at top of the screen

Question

Cursor of mouse disappear(at last pixels of screen). For example. Now all ok.

And if I move mouse to the top of the monitor it disappear.

But at the same time I can click on buttons on top panel. Any ideas how to fix it?

Answer 1

Adding the option

Option "hw_cursor" "off"

on the Device section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf solves this issue but creates other (more annoying) issues. [Disclaimer] messing with the xorg.conf can screw up your graphics and you'd be unable to log in. Proceed with caution, backup your xorg.conf and know how to log in to your system with a live CD/usb or drop to a shell that doesn't need the X server.

Also, switching to the nouveau driver solves it too.

None of the aforementioned solutions are acceptable for me. I'll keep digging and update the answer.
