Public bug reported:

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 internal
monitor) a flickering mouse. The pointer doesn't flicker on third
monitor (DisplayLink monitor).
