Certainly Mir's page flipping logic changed a bit in Mir 0.10 (faster). However, this bug doesn't occur on any other GPU (even tried several intel GPUs), and if the cursor is flickering then it's likely a kernel bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs,

William Hua, the next step is to fully commit bisect from kernel 3.16.7 to 3.18 in order to identify the last good kernel commit, followed immediately by the first bad one. This will allow for a more expedited analysis of the root cause of your issue. Could you please do this following

Thanks Joseph, The bug still exists with 3.19.0-031900rc4-generic. The bug does not exist with 3.19.0-994-generic. However the pointer is very laggy. I think I can only revert to 3.16.7-031607.201410301735 in the mean time... ** Tags added: kernel-bug-exists-upstream -- You received this bug

Sorry, I wasn't specific enough. I meant I used the 3.19.0-994.201501130205 kernel from comment #28 of LP: #1408593. The bug doesn't exist there, however I have a very laggy pointer from that one which seems to be a new regression. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member

The 3.19.0-994-generic is the daily build. That may indicate that this will be fixed in 3.19-rc5. Were you also able to test the test kernel in comment #28 of bug 1408593 ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.
