[Bug 1724307] Re: Mouse cursor flickers when using external DisplayLink monitor
Stephan Fabel: 1) Could you please attach a screenshot or screencast of the flickering via https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screencast ? 2) Could you please cross post this issue upstream to DisplayLink Support following their guide at http://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/757047-how-can-i-report-ubuntu-issues-to-displaylink ? While it may end up being root caused to a Ubuntu issue, more eyes on the problem wouldn't hurt here. ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Incomplete ** Summary changed: - Mouse cursor flickers when using external DisplayLink monitor + [Dell XPS 13 9360] Mouse cursor flickers with one external monitor connected via HDMI+Wavlink WL-UG39DK1V -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1724307 Title: [Dell XPS 13 9360] Mouse cursor flickers with one external monitor connected via HDMI+Wavlink WL-UG39DK1V To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1724307/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1724307] Re: Mouse cursor flickers when using external DisplayLink monitor
Hi all, I have the exact same issue on my primary monitor. Alienware Alpha R2 Primary monitor connected to Nvidia GTX 960 Secondary monitor connected to Startech USB32HD4K (Displaylink Driver) Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS One interesting thing I noticed is that if you set rotation in "All Settings"->"Screen Display" to "Clockwise", "Anti-clockwise" or "180 degrees" (just not "Normal"), this issue disappeared. This my workaround currently. Dont know if this helps.

Stephan Fabel, as reports to package xorg (Ubuntu) is used as a staging ground, and you have tested the latest version of Ubuntu, I'll mark this Triaged so a developer may review, and further review. Also, it would be helpful to have a camera picture of the corruption, or screencast as this can help in root causing. ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1724307 Title: Mouse cursor flickers when using external DisplayLink monitor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1724307/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1724307] Re: Mouse cursor flickers when using external DisplayLink monitor
1) The DVI connection doesn't work at all. This is through HDMI. 2) No. This only occurs if an external monitor is attached through the Wavlink. 3) Yes, that's correct. 4) Seems like animations/overlays or typing inside a Chrome window causes the mouse pointer to flicker more aggressively than not. If there is _no_ interaction or animation, the mouse pointer remains static and drawn. 5) No; the external monitor never has the mouse pointer vanishing entirely. That only happens on the internal monitor. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1724307 Title: Mouse cursor flickers when using external DisplayLink monitor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1724307/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Stephan Fabel, to follow up: 1) Are connecting the Wavlink device to the external monitor via DVI? 2) If you don't connect the Wavlink device to the laptop, do the mouse symptoms ever occur? 3) When you say it occurred with Ubuntu 17.04, 17.10, and 16.04 x64, this is you personally testing all of these on your Dell XPS 13 9360? 4) When you state Google Chrome aggrevates the issue, what do you mean precisely? 5) To confirm the symptoms, when everything is connected, the mouse flickers on both screens.
