Mouse cursor having a longer trail, lagging and stuttering

[Wont Tell]

Xubuntu 16.04.4, Kernel: 4.13.0-44 x86_64, CPU: i3-4030U, Graphics: Intel HD 4400.

After kernel 4.13.0-40, my mouse cursor started to have a bigger trail then before, lagging and stutter during some load. During loading redhift mouse experience more lag.

On a kernel 4.13.0-39 and 4.13.0-41 all good.

I've tried to test on a various kernels and here are the results:
Xubuntu 16.04.4, Kernel 4.13.0-39 = Good

Does this happen to the external mouse or the touchpad? I can see the external USB keyboard/mouse disconnects several times.

[Wont Tell (capedbaldy)]

Tested with mouse and without but results are the same.

[Kai-Heng Feng (kaihengfeng)]

My guess is this commit fixes the issue:

commit 368b554d63948133aca05e63ff8f5f4fbc2804d4
Author: Jani Nikula <email address hidden>
Date: Wed May 16 11:01:10 2018 +0300

    Revert "drm/i915/edp: Allow alternate fixed mode for eDP if available."

    This reverts commit dc911f5bd8aacfcf8aabd5c26c88e04c837a938e.

Can you try Bionic's kernel or Mainline kernel to see if the issue is fixed?

[Wont Tell (capedbaldy)]

I've made some tests and here are the results:

Ubuntu 18.04, Kernel 4.15.0-24 = Good
Ubuntu 18.04, Kernel 4.16.13(Ubuntu mainline) = Bad
Ubuntu 18.04, Kernel 4.16.16(Ubuntu mainline) = Bad
Ubuntu 18.04, Kernel 4.17(Ubuntu mainline) = Bad
Ubuntu 18.04, Kernel 4.17.2(Ubuntu mainline) = Bad

[Kai-Heng Feng (kaihengfeng)]

Please try v4.18-rc1.

[Wont Tell (capedbaldy)]

Ubuntu 18.04, Kernel 4.18.0-041800rc1-generic #201806162031(Ubuntu mainline) = Good

[Sergio Brighenti (sergio-f)]

Same problem here, HP Laptop 14-bp0xx and Ubuntu 18.04.
Installed the v4.18-rc1 (Linux hp 4.18.0-041800rc1-generic #201806162031 SMP Sun Jun 17 00:34:22 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux), and the problems seems fixed.

[Wont Tell (capedbaldy)]

The same cause was referenced in these reports:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1773581
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106943
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1773520
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103497

Kernel 4.15.0-24 fixed the issue on Bionic and Xenial. The fix also available in the v4.18-rc1 and will be backported to other Ubuntu kernels.

I guess I should tag this report as "Fix Released"?

[Damiön la Bagh (kat-amsterdam)]

This is not fixed at all. Same issues still in kernel 4.15.0-39-generic
see the attached screenshot

[ 1418.689467] Disabling IRQ #18

Mouse becomes laggy, don't have the shadow effect. Also writing is slower (also USB Keyboard), when I write I have to do it slow otherwise the key isn't passed and a letter (or more) are missing.
I've tried with "irqpoll" option but when I use it doesn't boot.
When I boot it's OK, a few minutes later the irq is disabled and the symptoms appear

I'm going to try the lowlatency mainland kernel 4.19.7
And if doesn't work, will try the list posted above

[Sebastian (rscm)]

I tried booting with "noirqdebug" and worked as a bypass not a real solution. At least I can work normally now.

"noirqdebug: Disables the code which attempts to detect and disable unhandled interrupt sources."

BTW with the lowlatency kernel also happened

[Cristian Delgado (cjdg-2k2)]

Still happens on ubuntu 18.10 with kernel 4.18 and affects all usb devices
