cursor disappears in KDE/opensuse

Hi !

 

I am using KDE of opensuse 13.2 (can't find the KDE version, sorry - it's the standard issue coming with 13.2). It's an optimus notebook (alienware 17).

My cirsor disapears inside the graphics window. Lines & objects are generated but even increasing the crosshair size to 100 did not help.

Starting DraftSight with the nvidia graphics driver (optirun DrafSight) creates more problems:

  1. effective graphics screen is a small sub-region of the actual graphics area.
  2. cursor shows up inside it BUT disappears outside this effective area.
  3. this effective graphics area is impossible to resize.

Any ideas?
