Ubuntu 17.04 - Everything works great except there is a weird square behind the mouse

mlukaszek · 06-13-2017, 03:00 PM

This is interesting. Is the same visible if you make an actual print screen, and not the photo? Is it just this cursor shape that is affected? Do you see the same in any application?

Thanks.
Michal

Hi Michal,

So that's the weird thing... screen cap programs do NOT show it... hence the reason I had to take a photo. But yes... beyond that... all programs are impacted. Everything from Chrome, to my Sublime text editor, and even Ubuntu desktop windows. It's everywhere.

OK, I see that's with nvidia driver. Is it the same if nouveau is used?

Cheers,
Michal

I have exactly the same problem, what is the fix?

I have the exact same problem.
With the nvidia-375 driver from the official repositories there is a square around my mouse cursor, which keeps the prior background on moving or after switching/scrolling/etc.

I'll continue testing with latest binary driver from nvidia (384.59) and report back.

This same issue is happening for me on Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS.

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS on my dell inspiron 7559 with Nvidia and Intel graphics cards. I'm using Nvidia-375 and I also have this issue. Apart from that video playback and other stuff is working great.
