Mouse Cursor issue when waking mac

[iWoz]

Has anyone had this issue upon waking up the mac, the mouse cursor isn't visible yet you can still click on things. It takes a few mins before the mouse cursor eventually becomes visible.

I have the same issue with my iMAC. When I repaired permissions, I got some details in the report that I don't understand. Here is a copy; is something wrong that I can correct? Thanks.

Does it still do the same thing? It has now REPAIRED them and those you copied are just shown as information for Apple techs (I have no idea what they tell)

Yes, the cursor is working fine this morning. Thanks.
