I had the exact same problem with my Intel NUC5CPYH which uses the Braswell chipset. After reading a lot of other articles I found this worked for me and now I can move my mouse anywhere on the desktop and my whole experience is a lot snappier:
1. Create a new xorg.conf file in your home directory: sudo X :1 -configure 2. Edit the new xorg.conf.new file and modify/uncomment the following lines in the "Device" section: Driver "intel" Option "AccelMethod" "sna" Option "TearFree" "true" Option "DRI" "3" 3. Copy the file to the /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d directory and name it 20-intel.conf: sudo cp xorg.conf.new /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf 4. Either reboot or restart the gdm service. If it doesn't work other posters suggested using "uxa" as the AccelMethod but apparently "sna" is faster. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1767654 Title: [Intel Braswell] Cursor gets stuck on left side of the screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1767654/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
