I have the same problem.

I installed the Vivid enablement stack like suggested on
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack and using now the
kernel 3.19 but sadly nothing changed.

If I switch from Unity to Gnome the flickering disappears but I would
prefer to keep Unity as I like the launcher. Maybe this helps.

Title:
  Mouse pointer flickers at using DisplayLink

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Using the new official DisplayLink driver for Ubuntu from
  http://www.displaylink.com/downloads/ubuntu.php for my USB-
  DisplayLink-Adapter causes on the two main monitors (DisplayPort and

  third monitor (DisplayLink monitor).
