I am using Ubuntu 14.04LTS with dual Monitor. I am unable to figure out the problem occurring with the mouse pointer.



The mouse pointer blinks and at times it disappears.

  • Does it reappear when you move the mouse elsewhere? Do you also see a regular pattern when it "disappears" ?

  • No there isn't a pattern, it just disappears at times and keeps blinking. For example when opening the filesystem window, the cursor follows the mouse movement but at some point it disappears but the movement is followed [ i.e. the folder's hover effects etc gets followed ]
