I have installed Ubuntu 16.04LTS, 17.04, and even Kali. I have two displays connected via display port. Both displays work fine during OS install, and during login. Once the desktop appears, I get trailing cursors and minor graphical glitches around the cursor. If I use HDMI and 1 DP, no glitches. I installed Windows 10, no glitches. To me, it seems like a driver issue. Can anyone else validate this issue and propose a solution? Thank you! Corey
I am experiencing the same issue. I experienced it using Unity on Ubuntu 17.04 and now also under Gnome on Ubuntu 17.10 (development branch). Any news? Did you manage to find a work-around?
I have not yet found a work around for Ubuntu. I have tried installing the Intel graphics drivers, I have messed with the advance display settings, disabled all Compiz effects, etc. Still could not get rid of the trailing cursors. I am currently using Debian with MATE windows manager at the moment with no graphical glitches. I would like to come back to Ubuntu when I have more time to try to figure out a fix.
This isn't quite a fix, but it is a workaround: I've discovered that using Unity on Wayland on Ubuntu 17.10 solves the problem. Whether that is useful for you or not is somewhat impossible for me to discern.
