[Bug 1433858] Re: Mouse cursor flickering when using two graphics cards

 

The other card is Intel on-CPU graphics. The display connected to the
Intel integrated controller does not flicker; the two displays connected
to the Radeon do.

$ lspci
...
00:02.0 Display controller: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06)
...

Oddly, lspci is showing a Xeon E3-1200 but the CPU is actually a i5-4690
