            Bug ID: 237642
           Summary: xf86-video-ati: Upgrade from 18.1.0 to 19.0.0 results
                    in invisible mouse pointer
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: jwb@freebsd.org

Following a routine pkg upgrade, a couple of my systems no longer had a vis=
ible
mouse pointer.  X11 was otherwise fully functional.  If I could blindly get=
 the
mouse over a button and click, it responded normally.

Both systems have Radeon GPUs and I noticed that xf86-video-ati had been
recently upgraded, so I reverted to 18.1.0 and this fixed the issue.

My hardware is quite old and I found that xf86-video-ati-legacy also works =
for
me.  I do not know whether this is a viable solution for everyone, though.

I added a modified v18.1.0 port to my WIP collection:

https://github.com/outpaddling/freebsd-ports-wip

It has PKGNAMESUFFIX=3D-18 so that pkg upgrade won't replace it with the br=
oken
v19.0.0.
