Same here. Ubuntu 16.04. ASUSTek Radeon HD 5750 Formula card and Sabrent DisplayLink, with Dual Dell S2440L monitors connected to the ASUSTek card and a ViewSonic VX922 monitor connected to the Sabrent device via native DVI. Heavy flickering on the mouse cursor with updating of the DisplayLink device. I have it set up so I can see the blinking light and notice that when it flickers the mouse cursor flickers on both the primary display and the secondary display, but not the one connected to the DisplayLink device. No flickering there at all. Another problem is that responsiveness seems slower on the other displays since connecting the DisplayLink device. I ran the Unity Support test and it shows that Unity is supported.

It does not do that on Mac OS X or on Windows 7 or on Windows 10. Even typing has been slowed down noticeably. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1278223 Title: Mouse Flickering after adding 3rd Monitor Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in xorg package in Fedora: Unknown Bug description: My issues is, after adding a 3rd monitor to Ubuntu 14.04, the mouse flickers (or blinks) when the cursor is on monitors one or two, but not 3.
