Travis Brace, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. To clarify:
1) Could you please cross post this to DisplayLink following their instructions via: http://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/757047-how-can-i -report-ubuntu-issues-to-displaylink 2) Could you please provide the full manufacturer and model of your device (ex. StarTech USB3SDOCKDD). Please note DisplayLink is not the manufacturer or model. 3) Could you please advise to the full manufacturer and model of your monitor(s)? 4) How does your DisplayLink device connect to the monitor(s)? For example, one external monitor connects via HDMI. 5) If the version of the driver advertised by the device manufacturer is older than that from DisplayLink's website, please advise to the results of testing both the device manufacturer's version, and the latest driver version from DisplayLink. 6) To rule out a regression in the DisplayLink driver, could you please advise on what happens when testing the earliest version of the driver compatible with your Ubuntu release? 7) Could you please post a picture of the issue via a camera, screenshot, or screencast? ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Tags added: bios-outdated-f22a ** Tags added: potential-workaround -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in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/1730213 Title: Mouse cursor flickers with box when external Display Link monitor is connected Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I'm having the same issue as well. With three screens the mouse has a glitch where it's like part of the screen makes a box around it. It almost seems to happen on interactions.. It's very noticable moving over tabs on a browser window. I'm not sure if the same effect would happen with two video cards two monitors share the 1050ti with the Nvidia drivers installed. I did get the latest display link drivers installed.
