ubuntu-bug xorg-server ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1511244 Title: Mouse pointer flickers at using DisplayLink Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: I have a three screen setup, the built-in laptop screen, a monitor connected directly into the laptop via DisplayPort, and a monitor connected via a USB DisplayLink Adapter. What happens is that when a monitor is connected via the USB DisplayLink Adapter, the mouse icon flickers only on the laptop screen and monitor connected via DisplayPort (not on the monitor connected via USB DisplayLink Adapter). However, this is also reproducible if I either deactivate the built-in laptop screen, or disconnect the DisplayPort connected monitor. WORKAROUND: Disconnect the USB DisplayLink Adapter for the computer.
