Hi,

I've updated my BIOS to 1.26 and I couldn't observe a difference in behavior.
I still see mouse trails when using the Nouveau display driver.
The NVIDIA driver (now at version 367.18) still works in one setup (no mouse trails) but doesn't seem to work in another setup (screen flickers and then freezes). By one setup / another setup I mean using different external monitors, both connected via DisplayPort, HDMI doesn't seem to work at all.

1. The output you asked for:
> sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
N1EET52W (1.26 )
05/10/2016

2. No improvement.

3. Marked status as New.

Changed in xorg (Ubuntu):
status:	Incomplete → New

Using nivida 367.18 is not a great workaround as it doesn't work with one of my external monitors.

Thanks for looking into it

Avishay, to clarify, is there an older version of the nvidia proprietary drivers that would provide a better WORKAROUND?

I've tested 4 different versions of nvidia drivers and all behaved the same. I haven't encountered a version that provided a better workaround.

I haven't mentioned it in the original post but it's probably relevant - if I switch an external monitor the new monitor is not detected. In order for the laptop to detect a new external monitor I need to logout/reboot.

I'm not sure I understand. You want me to replace my Ubuntu 16.04 with 16.10 and see if the bug reproduces?
The mouse trails disappear on 16.04 when I use nvidia's driver (but then I can't use my external monitors properly)

Avishay, a live environment is where one runs it from a DVD or USB drive.

Hi,

I've just confirm that the issue reproduces in the live environment installed from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/

I am having a nearly identical problem with my P50 and an ASUS external monitor.

In my case the trails last for a second or two then go away until I move the mouse again. I have the same distorted cursor problem.

I've tried connecting with DP and HDMI, using proprietary or community drivers, purging nvidia drivers and reloading, etc. By accident I have discovered that opening the System Settings and going to the Display settings (just going to them, not doing anything there) fixes it for as long as the Display settings are open. As soon as I close Display settings it comes right back.

Edward Gibbs, it will help immensely if you filed a new report with Ubuntu by ensuring you have the package xdiagnose installed, and that you click the Yes button for attaching additional debugging information running the following from a terminal:
ubuntu-bug xorg

Also, please feel free to subscribe me to it.
