After installing Parallel tools, the mouse pointer is not visible but works if I click. Can I re-enable it via Terminal?

I faced this issue in Parallels when I installed ElementaryOS Loki. Let me know if you are doing installation on Parallels then I can help you. Most people complained about mouse not showing or working when installing on Parallels– TahseenCommented Oct 8, 2016 at 13:17

So here is the solution if you are using Parallels to install ElementaryOS Loki
There is no Parallel Tools driver issue. It is just Boot Flag setting.
After installation of Parallel Tools, shut down and don't start Loki. Go to
Settings --> Hardware --> Boot Order
There you would see Advanced Settings, where you can set the boot flags. Type there
devices.usb.mouse=1
And now start your Virtual Machine, it would work
if 1 doesn't work then try 0. But for me in Parallels, 1 worked

the
devices.usb.mouse=1worked for me, a value of0did not. Commented Jan 9, 2017 at 17:42
