[Bug 1553503] Re: multi monitors - black flashes or black screen when the mouse cursor leaves a monitor
Christopher,
I'm hitting this bug too on my Thinkpad x250 with a dockingstation and two external displays.
I'm happy to test, but haven't built a kernel in a long time. Any guidance on how to apply that commit?
Is it like this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection#Testing_a_newly_released_patch_from_upstream
If I'm reading it correct that would build the kernel from master and not apply that commit to a 4.4 branch, so not sure how to test.
Thanks,
Jakob

Title:
multi monitors - black flashes or black screen when the mouse cursor
leaves a monitor
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
When the mouse cursor leaves one of the screens, there is either :
- no problem
- the screen becomes black just below the position of the cursor and instantly comes back to normal.
- the screen becomes entirely black with some random colored pixels flickering on the far left of the screen. I have to move the cursor to the black screen, otherwise it stays black.
It happens on Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 Beta and Ubuntu Mate 16.04 Beta.
I have tested with other distributions (Debian Jessie and Fedora) and everything is fine.
Hardware : Intel Ironlake (Thinkpad X201) with an external monitor
plugged in.
