I had the same problem with my AIW 9600 and someone on this group furnished
the following link about this known issue:

<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.ati.com/support/infobase/4234.html" target="_blank">http://www.ati.com/support/infobase/4234.html</a>

I applied the changes shown for "TV Setup" and it solved the problem, at
least I think that's what solved it. Right after I made the changes the
cursor seemed to be fine but later it started disappearing again. I went to
TV Setup again and my changes were not there so I applied them again and
rebooted. Since then it has worked ok.
