Sorry folks, but as part of the bug clean up ahead of 16.04 I'm marking
this as invalid because it affects an Ubuntu release which is now
unsupported. If you can still recreate this bug in a supported release
please do open a new bug and we can triage it for consideration in the
16.04 development

Title:
1002:6798 [fglrx] VT cursor is visible and blinking on top of Unity
I run Xubuntu 12.04.3 LTS 64 bit version. I also have this problem with
fglrx and fglrx-updates.
Logging out and back in solves the issue. This issue doesn't show up on
every boot, it happens about one in every three or four boots.

I meant to say that logging out and back in solves the issue for that

Confirmed with ATI Radeon HD 7750 and AMD Catalyst 13.1 on Ubuntu 12.10
. In many cases (but not frequently) the whole screen turns black for a
few seconds (1 or 2 seconds).
The blinking rectangle corresponds to a console cursor at tty7, i was
able to see the console's text, but I don't know how
It affects me on HD4670. And something I have noticed is that if my comp

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
I get the flashing cursor when Ubuntu updates the kernel? I can also get
rid of the cursor by logging out then logging back in.

I updated to Catalyst 12.11 Beta 8 driver, as Hans-Peter suggested.
After the first reboot, it seemed the bug was corrected... but it came back at
next reboot.

This bug seems to be a bad interaction between lightdm and fglrx.
I switched to GDM and now the problem does not happen anymore.

Still haven't found a way to get rid of this blinking cursor.
It is not only the case with Unity(tested with Ubuntu 12.10 fresh
install), but also with xfce (tested with Xubuntu 12.10 fresh install,
fglrx install per apt-get install fglrx fglrx-amdcccle, all updates
installed).

Perhaps this is rather a bug in lightdm?
Does this problem still happens when using GDM, KDM or similar?

Another thing I tried right now, was installing the AMD Catalyst 12.11

When this issue happens, it also produces a massive graphic glitch when you try
to switch to another user (or to the guest session) without closing your
session first.
It seems both sessions are superposed: everything blink and is corrupted. The
only solution I found in this case is to reboot
