I had the exact same problem with my Intel NUC5CPYH which uses the Braswell chipset. After reading a lot of other articles I found this worked for me and now I can move my mouse anywhere on the desktop and my whole experience is a lot snappier:

1. Create a new xorg.conf file in your home directory:

 sudo X :1 -configure

2. Edit the new xorg.conf.new file and modify/uncomment the following lines in the "Device" section:

 Driver "intel"
 Option "AccelMethod" "sna"
 Option "TearFree" "true"
 Option "DRI" "3"

3. Copy the file to the /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d directory and name it 20-intel.conf:

 sudo cp xorg.conf.new /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf

4. Either reboot or restart the gdm service.

If it doesn't work other posters suggested using "uxa" as the AccelMethod but apparently "sna" is faster.
