        Stefan is experiencing flickering and disappearing cursor under gnome.
        The problem manifests itself under gnome desktop but everything is fine
        at the login screen (most likely gdm3). This behavior is reproducible
        both using his built-in touchpad and external mouse. Stefan provided
        detailed description of the problem - it is attached to an earlier
        message (BugDescription.txt) along dmesg, lsusb and lspci outputs.
        
        He is using Dell Inspiron 15 7000 (with a non functional touchscreen,
        that may be the source of some strange dmesg messages) and he is running:
        xorg version: 1:7.7+3~deb7u1
        gnome version: 1:3.4+7+deb7u1

Thanks for detailing.

This looks like a bug in the 3D driver.
Using the “GNOME Classic” session should work as an interim solution.

Since the graphics card looks unsupported by wheezy, you probably need
to install a backport of the graphics driver. 

Cheers,
