Stein-Magne Pedersen, thank you for reporting this and helping make
Ubuntu better.

As per
https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/SABERTOOTH_990FX/HelpDesk_Download/ an
update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (1604).
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, if the problem is still reproducible, and the
information above is provided, then please mark this report Status New.
Otherwise, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Mouse pointer gets distorted / broken on dual screen setup

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The mouse pointer is fine at boot, but after working a couple of
  minutes it gets distorted. I move my mouse pointer back and forth
  between my two screens all the time. The actual distortion happends
  randomly on the "screen swich" and when I move my pointer on one of my
  screens. Sometimes I can see a slightly distortion and if I move my
  mouse pointer on top of a scrollbar its back to normal. But just for a
  little while, then its permanently distorted. And it happends only on
  one of the screens, never on both at the same time.
