Along the same lines as Sebastian H., I solved this problem by disabling framebuffer (specifically, by uncommenting the GRUB_TERMINAL=console line in /etc/default/grub, and re-building the grub config).
I may try uvesafb like Sebastian did to restore framebuffer functionality, but it's not a pressing issue for my use case. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1067320 Title: 1002:6798 [fglrx] VT cursor is visible and blinking on top of Unity Radeon HD 7970 and 5450 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1067320/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
