Only one monitor is plugged into the DisplayLink docking station so I
think the limitation of two monitors is not the problem. If I deactivate
the internal laptop monitor or the monitor plugged directly into the
laptop nothing changes. The mouse keeps flickering on the monitor that
is not connected to the docking station.

Thanks for the advice using the support forum of DisplayLink. The bug
was already reported
(http://www.displaylink.org/forum/showthread.php?p=79054#post79054). The
only "solution" they came up with is switching from Unity to another
desktop environment like gnome or metacity. As I like the Unity Dock
Launcher this is not a real option for me.

Title:
  Mouse pointer flickers at using DisplayLink

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

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).
