Mouse cursor jumps to other screen

@a-fitz, I'm using DL 5.3.1. You could try downgrading to 5.3.1 and see if the cursor_events virtual file turns up.

BTW, I tried several methods to apply the fix automagically each time X was started but they all had issues. I ended up creating a systemd service with a 'sleep hack' as follows which seems to work quite reliably;

File: /etc/systemd/system/fix-evdi-mouse-cursor-events.service
[Unit]
Description=fix X cursor flashing at screen sides because of evdi cursor events
After=displaylink-driver.service

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/bin/sh -c 'sleep 5; /bin/echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/evdi.1/cursor_events'

[Install]
WantedBy=graphical.target

I know a better method must exist and if anyone develops it please share.
