Cinnamon 18.3, mouse trails, high CPU Usage..

Gunther · 05-30-2018, 05:50 PM

Hello, I've recently just tried DisplayLink with a Dell Latitude 7480, a Dell D6000 docking station, three Dell Monitors and Cinnamon 18.3

I'm able to get all the screens to work however performance seems to be an issue. I can see mouse trails when I move the mouse and sometimes the DisplayLinkMana process starts to consume excessive CPU resources. On ocaision something crashes and leaves me with just the laptop screen and one of my external monitors.

I've tried downgrading (to several versions) but no avail. I've tried this: "echo 1 > /sys/devices/evdi/add" (from another post), but no avail.

These problems seem to be consistent through out the products history. Does anyone know if there are any fixes or alternatives?

Thanks,

Gunther
