Bug Description

The cursor blings at irregular intervals wheen mouse cursor moving.

TEMPORARY WORKAROUND:
Try this to resolve it. Disconnect all but your main laptop/desktop monitors. Go to system settings->Displays. Try to delete the non-existing screen that Ubuntu adds by default. The issue should be resolved after selecting "Apply". If it doesn't, play around a little bit with the settings there, and hit Apply to see if it works...

However, after doing that, I still notice some weird behaviour (cursor freezes sometimes)...

This issue affects my freshly installed Trusty. BTW, I have a triple screen setup, and the open source xserver-xorg-video-ati video driver worked out of the box (great!). Unfortunately this persistent mouse flickering and disappearing issue is a deal breaker for me. Moreover, mouse cursor issue becomes worse when accessing Windows app through Citrix receiver.

The workaround provided does not apply to me.
