[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1590492] Re: Cursor is flickering or leaving annoying trails using 3 monitors
Yes AS I said, I had not installed any other linux or ubuntu distribution on this laptop before, so I couldn't possibly know if there was any issues. I'll try the live build and I'll come back to you with the results. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1590492 Title: Cursor is flickering or leaving annoying trails using 3 monitors Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Mouse cursor leaving trails or flickers when I've 2 external screens attached.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1590492] Re: Cursor is flickering or leaving annoying trails using 3 monitors
Sorry I haven'r seen you comment. As per your 1st question - I don't know that since I've only tried using 3 screens in 16.04, prior to that I had a desktop setup (11.04 to 14.04) with 2 screens without any problems, either using the nvidia drivers either the nouveau. Regarding the nvidia propertiary drivers they don't work for me at all. Even when I did manage make them work the mini-display port didn't work so I could use only the screen in the HDMI port and the build-in screen. Only when I'm using the nouveau driver I'm able to use all the 3 screens together but with that annoying issue. ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: Expired => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1590492 Title: Cursor is flickering or leaving annoying trails using 3 monitors Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Mouse cursor leaving trails or flickers when I've 2 external screens attached.
