Pedro, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As
per http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/product
/alienware-m14x-r2/drivers an update to your computer's buggy and
outdated BIOS is available (A09). If you update to this following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then
please mark this report Status New.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
   double mouse cursor

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  These posts describe my problem:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1393169
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1396361

  The only way I've found to remove the extra mouse cursor is to drag an image in Chrome (?). It doesn't work with an image in Firefox nor in another program. 
  Anyway, the extra mouse coursor appears again at any time, so I have no solution for this.
