I checked my setup and I am set to Discrete Graphics in BIOS, not Hybrid.
So the Intel firmware should not really matter, it should be all nvidia. I
am using the x-org open-source driver for the nvidia card, not the
proprietary nvidia one.
16.10 and 17.04 do have their issues on the P50, most
Upgrading to a non-LTS version has it's downsides, and I have read
reports of people that experience the same problems after upgrading up
to 17.04.
I now installed an Intel version of the 21.20.16.4590 driver for Windows
10 from the Lenovo website, but it's actually not meant for the P50
laptop
I would say to try 16.10 or 17.04 if you can, or upgrade the 16.04 kernel.
Sad to say I was never really sure what fixed it for me, one day it was
just better.
I'm not at the machine right now so I can't give you the specifics, but I
doubt if any of the Windows drivers will fix it in Ubuntu.

First of all I do have to mention: I do not have mouse trails, but only
a dissapearing and flickering mouse cursor!
I'm on Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS running in a dualboot configuration with a
(preinstalled) Windows Pro with a bunch of drivers managed by Lenovo.
The Intel P530 graphics driver in windows
I have the same pre-install of Windows with Lenovo bloatware. I boot it up
every once in a while and let it download whatever Windows and Lenovo
updates it thinks it needs, including video and BIOS, but I don't think
that was what fixed it. On the Linux side I am running 17.04 now with
community
Updating firmware from Windows doesn't do it for me, but that might be
because I've got a preinstalled Windows with a Lenovo-supplied version
of the Intel driver. Windows works fine with it and I would like to keep
it running fine ofcourse. gibbs-edward: Did you install the latest Intel

Well, it was not a firmware update that fixed it. I'm on Qubes 4.2
right now and it still has the problem, Qubes is using Xfce 4.12 as
it's desktop manager, which I believe is Ubuntu based. Some update to
Ubuntu must have fixed the problem and it hasn't been rolled into the
Xfce version Qubes
As requested I downloaded the latest build and ran it from USB. After
selecting hybrid graphics in BIOS I booted up and was delighted to see
no mouse trails on the 2nd monitor!
I then rebooted back into 16.04 leaving hybrid graphics selected - no
mouse trails!
I think there was an Intel
