Mouse flickering [duplicate]

I've just done a fresh install of Ubuntu 13.10 on my Asus K53SV but I noticed that the cursor is flickering a lot and some times disappear. I never had this issue before with other Ubuntu release. What can I do?


System Settings > Screen Display. There is an unknown monitor. Disable it, it should be good


You could try disabling the gnome-settings-daemon cursor plugin, then doing a restart or log out/in

To do so run this in a terminal

gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.cursor active false

If desiring to reactivate then just rerun the command but use true instead of false
