** Description changed:
Hi. After upgrade (Tue Aug 20, 2013) of nVidia related packages such as:
- nvidia-settings-304, nvidia-current and install nvidia-304 package etc,
- I noticed that after restart, all system fonts were enlarged - terminal
- fonts, desktop fonts, windows fonts. Generally everywhere. I had to
- change size by hand. But there is one more problem: mouse cursor.

If the mouse is not in use (I mean e.g. no user reaction) from time to
time, mouse cursor is disappearing for a one, two seconds. The same
thing happens when I'm moving mouse or when I'm trying to open/close a
directory, mark a file by one click or simply - clicking on anything. It
- is pretty strange and annoying. Before today updates, everything was

okay. All installed packages related to nVidia:

- Also, there is no icon for a 'NVIDIA X Server Settings' utility
- (available via menu). When I'm trying to open this application, there is
- a message, that I'm not using a 'nvidia' driver and I should run
- 'nvidia-xconfig' as root and restart X11, which I did, but after X11
- restart, everything was so huge. In monitor settings, I could not choose
- 1024x768 resolution, because there was not such option - only three:
- 800x600 and lower etc. Earlier, I could open X Server Settings and
- view/set many options. Honestly, now there is nothing. I had to remove
- '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' file created by nvidia-xconfig command, change
- permission ('chmod 755') and name of a 'xorg.conf.backup' file to
- 'xorg.conf'. After restart, everything seems to return to normal, but
- still there is a problem with mouse cursor.

I'm using Xubuntu 12.04.2 LTS. After/during installation there were no
need to configure anything related to my nVidia graphics card (GeForce
- 7100). Everything worked out-of-the-box. Till today. Also during system
- closing and/or booting, fonts are changed. Now they are... slimmer.

There is also problem with X11. After - for example - 30 minutes without
- any user reaction, monitor goes black. After moving a mouse, Desktop is
- really horrible. Colors, windows decorations, fonts etc. It looks very,
- very bad. Generally, after today's upgrades of nVidia packages (and
- kernel) something is happening with X11. I don't see anything worrying
- in '/var/log/Xorg.0.log' file. There are three files related to nVidia
- in /etc/modprobe.d/ directory: 'nvidia-304_hybrid.conf', 'nvidia-
- current_hybrid.conf' and 'nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf' (which contains
- e.g. blacklist nouveau, alias nvidia nvidia_304 etc. entries).

[1] I have to notice, that nvidia-304 and nvidia-settings-304 packages are
new and were installed during upgrade. Maybe these packages are responsible for
all mentioned problems?
