Bug Description
Lenovo Thinkpad P50, Xeon, Nvidia M2000m 4GB, 16 GB RAM
2nd monitor (ASUS) connected via either DP or HDMI, when using Hybrid Graphics the cursor on the second display is distorted and leaves mouse trails that persist for several seconds. Switching to Nvidia graphics cures but Nvidia has other problems (built in display is dim and brightness cannot be adjusted). Interestingly, just opening Display settings also cures the problem for as long as the Display Setting dialog is open. Under Windows (10 Pro) Hybrid Graphics does not exhibit this problem.
Ubuntu release is 16.04.2 LTS.
