Sorry folks, but as part of the bug clean up ahead of 16.04 I'm marking
this as invalid because it affects an Ubuntu release which is now
unsupported.  If you can still recreate this bug in a supported release
please do open a new bug and we can triage it for consideration in the
16.04 development cycle.

Title:
  1002:6798 [fglrx] VT cursor is visible and blinking on top of Unity
  Radeon HD 7970 and 5450

Status in Unity:
  Invalid
Status in fglrx-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  A black cursor is blinking on top of the screen.
  It is not as regular as a true shell prompt (because of glitches), but I'm sure this is the cursor of the underlying TTY.

  If I try to switch to any other TTY, the focus remains on the desktop
  (eg. I can still click and type in Firefox) but the black cursor does
  move as I type.

  For example, I just switched to TTY 1 and was able to log-in (I see it
  because of the cursor position on the screen), while my username and
  my password were also written in the text-box where I'm writing this
  bug report.

  This bug is really odd and annoying.
