Actually I got tired of this and got a new monitor that supports the DP
port on my laptop. I no longer have the old one, so I can't test this any
further. I suppose that means it can be closed?

Title:
  Mouse flickers and disappears on primary monitor when additional
  monitor is connected

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Any time I connect my Acer G236HL LCD monitor with VGA via my Dell
  Adapter (Part# 470-ABHH, DisplayLink driver version 1.2.65), the mouse
  flickers and disappears in the primary monitor. It displays perfectly
  on the additional monitor. It also displays perfectly after the
  additional monitor is disconnected.

  I see that there are a number of similar bug reports:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1645891
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1629300
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1278223
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1613001

  WORKAROUND: Bypass the DisplayLink adapter and plug computer directly
  into a monitor with mini-DP.
