I recently upgraded my Ubuntu installation from 14.04 to 14.10. I must admit that in the previous install I had a certain problem with the mouse pointer(it often disappears into the bottom half of the screen) but I ignored it. Today I upgraded over online to the latest version and the situation has worsened.
The mouse pointer is leaving trailing pointers everywhere which keep flickering. The area under the mouse pointer also gets distorted.
I am running Ubuntu 14.10 64-bit on HP Pavillion dv6 3123tx
RAM: 1.8GB
Graphics: ATI Radeon HD 5650 1GB with onboard Intel Ironlake Mobile Graphics
Related to display drivers: I am using only the ones provided by Ubuntu default, I tried installing fglrx but it always breaks my desktop.
Please help.
UPDATE: The bottom half of the screen is fine. The top half has glitchy mouse pointers running everywhere.
