I checked my setup and I am set to Discrete Graphics in BIOS, not Hybrid.
So the Intel firmware should not really matter, it should be all nvidia. I
am using the x-org open-source driver for the nvidia card, not the
proprietary nvidia one.
16.10 and 17.04 do have their issues on the P50, most not
Upgrading to a non-LTS version has it's downsides, and I have read
reports of people that experience the same problems after upgrading up

I would say to try 16.10 or 17.04 if you can, or upgrade the 16.04 kernel.

Well, it was not a firmware update that fixed it. I'm on Qubes 4.2
right now and it still has the problem, Qubes is using Xfce 4.12 as
it's desktop manager, which I believe is Ubuntu based. Some update to
Ubuntu must have fixed the problem and it hasn't been rolled into the

As requested I downloaded the latest build and ran it from USB. After
selecting hybrid graphics in BIOS I booted up and was delighted to see
no mouse trails on the 2nd monitor!
I then rebooted back into 16.04 leaving hybrid graphics selected - no
mouse trails!
I think there was an Intel firmware
