Public bug reported:
Mouse cursor leaving trails or flickers when I've 2 external screens
attached. One is in a HDMI port and the other in a Mini Display Port as
well as the laptop built in monitor. The problem is more intense in the
monitor that is attached in the HDMI port now but in previous
installations the problem was more acute at the display attached in the
Mini Display Port.
Also the it seems that the flickering is quite prominent when I'm
hovering on Chrome's/Chromium tabs or other widgets (possibly GTK's)
Also what regards the cursor trails, that's happening in every screen
when I'm hovering over the title bar or windows menu bar
I'm running GnomeUbuntu 16.04 on a Dell XPS L512X using the Xorg nouveau
display drivers with 16Gigs of RAM
