I found this here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sourc...mments=all
Essentially it involves updating the video driver as described here: https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ub...cs-drivers
This is what I did:
In terminal:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo reboot
et voila the cursor now appears after sleep.
My system:
System:
Kernel: 4.4.0-21-generic i686 (32 bit) Desktop: Xfce 4.12.3 Distro: Ubuntu 16.04 xenial

CPU(s):
Single core Intel Atom N270 (-HT-) speed/max: 800/1600 MHz
Graphics:

YMMV
Thx man....I was just about to unistall LL3.0....luckily you came for the rescue .... funny that DEV seems to not mind people ditching his OS for something so easily fixable and yet so complicated for non-programmers.... no wonder LL has fallen down so much on distrowatch.
