As we say, "That's funny, not 'ha ha funny', but funny."
But just to clarify

It's just "invisible".
Since it worked in the LiveCD, and in the hard drive installation it 'works'...or not works as the case maybe, it is a case of loading up the wrong
video modules (drivers).
This is going to be a lot of fun, so let's keep a lid on it.
Boot up the LiveCD and in a terminal, enter
Code:
sudo lsmod | grep video
Thsi lists all the modules (drivers). Output is piped (
|) to
grep to be searched for all occurrences of the word 'video'.
It looks like this.
Code:
netty@netty:~$ sudo lsmod | grep video
uvcvideo 73728 0
videobuf2_vmalloc 16384 1 uvcvideo
videobuf2_memops 16384 1 videobuf2_vmalloc
videobuf2_core 49152 1 uvcvideo
v4l2_common 16384 1 videobuf2_core
videodev 139264 3 uvcvideo,v4l2_common,videobuf2_core
media 24576 2 uvcvideo,videodev
video 20480 2 i915,acer_wmi
netty@netty:~$
In this broad sweep we are just looking for the line
video 20480 2 i915,acer_wmi, (your's will be different) but cut and paste the entire output to a post.
But wait there's more....
Now boot to the hard drive installation and do the same thing. Because of the invisible cursor, if you want, modify the command
sudo lsmod | grep video > ~/Desktop/lsmod_output.txt, or whatever you want to call it. This dumps the output into a text file on your Desktop.
Post, or attach that... and then we see about blacklisting the current module, and loading the one that works.
It's a little messy and fiddly, but it gets the job done. We'll make it pretty later.
