Stein-Magne Pedersen, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.
As per https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/SABERTOOTH_990FX/HelpDesk_Download/ an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (1604). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible, and the information above is provided, then please mark this report Status New. Otherwise, please mark this as Invalid. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-1604 ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1512634 Title: Mouse pointer gets distorted / broken on dual screen setup Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: The mouse pointer is fine at boot, but after working a couple of minutes it gets distorted. I move my mouse pointer back and forth between my two screens all the time. The actual distortion happends randomly on the "screen swich" and when I move my pointer on one of my screens. Sometimes I can see a slightly distortion and if I move my mouse pointer on top of a scrollbar its back to normal. But just for a little while, then its permanently distorted. And it happends only on one of the screens, never on both at the same time.
