Lyude bisected a similar problem on a much newer GPU to this very same change as well. [Sorry, no useful information beyond that, but thought I'd make the connection.]

Hi! On v4.18-rc1, the mouse cursor is missing on my right monitor. Card is G98 [GeForce 8400 GS Rev. 2].
I have two monitors: one small landscape 1280x1024 on DVI-I-1 left, and one big 1600x1200 (1200x1600 portrait) on HDMI-1 right. Curiously, the cursor is missing not only with proper xrandr setup after logging in but even in mirrored mode at the lightdm greeter[1]. How is this even possible if both screens are supposed to be identical?

Alas, the bad commit can't be easily reverted as there's a lot of further work on the file on question.
Meow!

It's possible to setup lightdm for proper layout even on the login screen, but that gives only aesthetic bonus while possibly causing problems when the layout changes. -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ There's an easy way to tell toy operating systems from real ones. ⣾⠁⢰⠒⠀⣿⡁ Just look at how their shipped fonts display U+1F52B, this makes ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ the intended audience obvious.
