Using Parallels Desktop Version 19.3.0 (54924) and Fedora 40 vm on a MacBook Pro with the M1 chip. Today when I login to the vm, the mouse pointer disappears. The mouse is connected via bluetooth. It's visible on the vm's login screen, but then goes away after logging in. I can tell where the mouse pointer actually is when UI elements activate and I can click, but I cannot see the mouse pointer. I have tried multiple restarts, checking for updates, as well as reinstalling the Parallels Tools with no success. Need help please.
Same system and issue here, only workaround I've found is to turn of 3D acceleration which isn't ideal. Setting WLR_NO_HARXDWARE_CURSORS in /etc/environment hasn't worked either.

Same issue here, unfortunately installing custom themes and cursors did nothing. I think we need a patch from Parallels.
Thanks for the tip, it worked for me! Was driving me crazy for several hours trying all sorts of fixes. Anyway, turning off 3D did the trick.
The solution was outlined by @brandons17 in a bunch of other threads. The environment variable for disabling hardware cursors for kwin is KWIN_FORCE_SW_CURSOR so use that instead of WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS because kwin doesn't use wlroots. Setting it in your shell profile will fix it for your desktop session but if you also use sddm and you can that environment variable in /etc/environment to avoid losing the cursor as soon as it changes its appearance (like hovering over a text box). If you insist on using WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS, you could try theseus' ship (formerly KWinFT) since that is based on wlroots and presumably would respect that environment variable.
