When returning from standby the MCE remote no longer works and also the ubuntu black cross mouse pointer stuck permanently in the middle of the screen (the cross also similarly appears after returning from the console). How do I repair this?

This is not something that I experience.

I also just found this, others are having the same issue you've got here:

I've the same problem with xorg's mouse pointer.
As I read earlier unclutter will solve the problem.
I tried to install it with the command : sudo aptitude install unclutter
but I get the following error message :

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

Can someone help me please ?
