Graphical glitches when using OpenGL compositor in KDE

I get similar glitches - artifacts/copies of the mouse pointer.

I'm running Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 (not KDE). And using the Nouveau driver. I have a Dell XPS 15 9550 with nVidia gpu. Dell D3100 dock. Latest (May 16) display link driver.

The artifacts occur when running the mouse past window titles/menu bars, side scroll bars, and other such "boundaries". Some clean up after a few seconds, others clean up if you grab and drag a window.

Here's a picture for an example: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7...zlNc0xRWmt5S0k (attached, too)

I also have the same issue. If I use Xrender with KDE I do not see any artifacts, but I have a disappearing mouse pointer instead on the display that is connected directly to the laptop (not via the dock).

Has anyone had any luck solving these issues? It would be perfect if we could get this working 100%.

Cheers!
