Bug 271601: x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati: mouse pointer randomly disappears
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=271601



--- Description ---
I do not know if it can be similar to bug #237642, but I'm running FreeBSD 13.2
amd64 with a Mobility Radeon HD 4670 (RV730) GPU. Here are the relevant ports:

Port			    Version
--------------------------  ----------
graphics/drm-kmod	    20220907_1
x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati  19.1.0_6,1


When GPU acceleration is enabled (by default, without any xorg.conf
customization), mouse pointer randomly disappears and the only way to see it
back seems to be a system reboot. No problem when I add "SWcursor" on in a
custom xorg.conf file. I played a lot with radeon(4) driver options (changed
"AccelMethod" and any related parameter), but the only ways to not experience
the issue are disabling entirely graphic acceleration or enabling the
"SWcursor" option.

Please find attached my Xorg.0.log. Someone can suggest me how to better
diagnose this problem?
