sevku, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. To advise, reports focus on one problem at a time. Hence, if you have further issues, please file one report per issue.
Despite this, to confirm a WORKAROUND for the flickering, could you please test for this using https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome- flashback (not Unity), and advise to the results? ** No longer affects: xserver-xorg-video-displaylink (Ubuntu) ** Tags added: bios-outdated-2.69 ** Description changed: - I am trying to use the HP EliteDisplay S140u USB Display on my Lenovo - T430s, therefore I have installed DisplayLink softwares. However, there - are some issues occuring now. - - First of all, the cursor is flickering on the Built-In laptop screen, - when the other screen is connected. The flickering mainly occurs, when - the cursor is hovering over the program header or the upper ubuntu - status bar (black bar on top). - - Second, the CPU rises to 100% quite quickly and the Computer crashes - completely. It's enough to open a browser, then a file explorer, and - trying to open a pdf from the file explorer. This only happens when the - display is connected. - - Third, to activate the usb screen, I have to plug it in, then go to - settings, activate the screen, unplug and plug it in again. - - I have seen this bug has been reported many times, I myself have easily - found 3 reports from several versions of Ubuntu, I would highly - appreciate if this could finally be fixed. + When using the HP EliteDisplay S140u USB Display on my Lenovo T430s, the + cursor is flickering on the Built-In laptop screen, when the other + screen is connected.
