Adding Option "SWCursor" "on" to xorg.conf and disabling Compiz ("visual effects" to none) resolves the mouse cursor problem, but isn't a real solution.
Have removed the nvidia packages and manually installed 173.14.12 according to instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual but still no result. Seems that it's not anything to do with the nvidia supplied files. What about nvidia-kernel-common and linux-restricted-modules? Have these changed since 7.10 or 7.04 or any other in graphics sub-system? -- Mouse cursor broken - appears square, garbled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/256631 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
