[Bug 1511244] Re: Mouse pointer flickers at using DisplayLink

 

Hannes Bochmann, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu
better.

As per http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-
netbooks/thinkpad-l-series-laptops/thinkpad-l450 an update to your
computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (1.16). If you update to
this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it
address the issue?

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.

Also, 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
Confirmed. Otherwise, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your understanding.

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