[Bug 1531860] [NEW] Mouse lagging and leaving a trail on laptop and external monitors

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Public bug reported:

I have a Dell Latitude laptop with Optimus, connected to an external
monitor over DVI via a docking station.

Moving the mouse on my external monitor leaves a number of mouse pointer
icons which disappear after a short time, but hang around long enough to
make a short trail.  When the mouse pointer is on the laptop screen, it
flickers to such an extent that sometimes it becomes just about
invisible.

I have no idea which package this is for, unfortunately.
