Public bug reported:
Alienware Alpha R2
Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
Primary monitor is connected to Nvidia GTX 960
Secondary monitor is connected to Startech USB32HD4K (Displaylink Ubuntu Driver
version 1.4.210, http://www.displaylink.com/downloads/ubuntu)
If only one monitor is connected via Nvidia GTX 960, it is totally
normal.
If the second monitor is also connected via Startech USB32HD4K, mouse
cursor flickers frequently and can even disappear on the PRIMARY monitor
(the one that is connected to Nvidia GTX 960). On the second monitor,
everything is fine.
One interesting thing I noticed is that if I set rotation in "All
Settings"->"Screen Display" to "Clockwise", "Anti-clockwise" or "180
degrees" (just not "Normal") on the PRIMARY monitor, this issue is
mitigated.
