Mouse pointer blinking [duplicate]

After installing Ubuntu 13.10 mouse is blinking and sometimes it blinks so fast that I can't see where it is, especially on web pages. It also happens even if I don't work anything on computer.

During setup of installation I pointed /home to previous 13.04 Ubuntu, maybe some settings are obsolete. What could be problem here? I have NVidia 525M graphic card.


This worked for me. System Settings > Screen Display. There is an unknown monitor. Disable it, it should be good. This is not my solution, i got it from here. https://askubuntu.com/a/360473


  1. Go to System Settings > Displays.

    a screenshot of Displays, in System Settings, showing Built-in Display and Unknown Display

  2. Turn-off / disable Unknown Display.
