Display Flickering

[nutella]

I several times now had the issue that when I connected to my DisplayLink with my Ubuntu 16.04 that the external screen started flickering. Usually this got "resolved" (restarting is no sulution ;-) ) by restarting the machine.

Since the latest Ubuntu updates however this problem seems to persist. I tried with some different cables and of course I tried restart, but as soon the DisplayLink is attached, the external monitor fllickers.

Happy if someone can have a look at the logs and eventually can help me with this issue.

Thanks in advance!

Actually I would have hoped at least someone would have taken a look on it...

Lots of problem on my side with mouse pointer flickering/disappearing on some screen areas on Mint 19 (based on Ubuntu 18.04). Restarting doesn't change things much.

I'm evaluating the box for a company deployment and this is the only limitation so far. Too bad :(

Applying those patchs solved the mouse problem for me:
