Mouse pointer blinking

Question

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.

you can try what I posted here, may help, may not. If it does help would be good to know so I can update a current bug I have on the cursor plugin http://askubuntu.com/questions/360455/mouse-flickering — doug, Oct 18 '13 at 01:43

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

Worked perfectly. Any idea why that second display is there? – Eric Pauley Nov 23 '13 at 19:34

Go to System Settings > Displays.
Turn-off / disable Unknown Display.
