Just used the intel linux graphics installer. Works great except the mouse pointer is distorted exactly like he describes. Still fully functional but its rather annoying, Any ideas on a fix?

Could you tell me which exact hardware you see this on? The output of lspci -vnn would do.

Same issue on my old ibm z60t.

Hello, I tested Ubuntu 14.04 and Fedora 20 with the latest installer, same bug.
Hardware is a Dell Latitude D610, no problem with the stock drivers and full patches.

I have same problem in Ubuntu 14.04 with my IBM ThinkCentre 8122 AWG (MB with Intel 915G chip). After installing "intel-linux-graphics-installer_1.0.7-0intel1_i386.deb" mouse pointer was corrupted like on the picture above. With original Ubuntu 14.04 drivers it was OK.
Same time I saw that, when I watch Youtube 720p video, CPU usage is lower that with default Ubuntu VGA drivers.
I need help too!

Thanks for the extra data point - I'll pass on the info.

Same cursor rendering problem on my IBM T42 laptop. The rest of the Intel GPU driver works fine.

Have intalled the Intel graphics driver stack on our Dell Dimension 3100C running Ubuntu 14.04 32bit
and all seems to have gone well. Working fine (and quite quickly) except that the mouse cursor is now somewhat corrupted.
All the image information still seems to be there and to move around, but it is chopped vertically into around 11 slices separated by screen image. The tip of the 'cursor' still points to the hotspot onscreen and the slices change according to the function of the pointer on the screen, so it's nearly working.
This behaviour begins the moment the PC boots X.
Any hints or suggestions would be gratefully received.
