I finally remedied the problem, using the xorg-edgers ppa. This is what I did -
1. sudo apt-add-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa 2. sudo apt-get update 3. goto additional drivers and select driver 349.16 4. reboot 5. goto software/updates and goto the "Other Software" tab and UNCHECK the xorg-edgers ppa. I DID NOT PURGE THIS PPA. The reason why I nixed this ppa is because after selecting driver 349, the software updater would try to pull in other updates from the xorg- edgers ppa which kept crashing my system. This allowed me to keep the driver 349 and not pull in any other updates. If you do a ppa-purge, it will also nix the driver, hence why i just unchecked it in the sources tab. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1440012 Title: The cursor disappears on the top of the screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nvidia-drivers-ubuntu/+bug/1440012/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
