Public bug reported:

1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu
$ lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu quantal (development branch)
Release:	12.10

2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy
pkgname' or by checking in Software Center

$ apt-cache policy compiz
compiz:
  Installed: 1:0.9.8.0-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 1:0.9.8.0-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 1:0.9.8.0-0ubuntu1 0

        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) What you expected to happen

I have 2 independent X screens on my computer (I do not use twinview or any "big screen" type of setup)
DISPLAY :0.0 is on the left
DISPLAY :0.1 is on the right

I expect the mouse pointer to move from the right edge of DISPLAY :0.0
to the left edge of DISPLAY :0.1 like it did in ubuntu 12.04.

4) What happened instead

In ubuntu 12.10 my mouse pointer wraps around on first X screen instead
of moving to 2nd X screen

If I try to move my mouse from DISPLAY :0.0 (computer monitor) to
DISPLAY :0.1 (my tv), the mouse pointer wraps from the right edge of my
DISPLAY :0.0 to the left edge of DISPLAY :0.0.  It doesn't wrap the
other way around (left edge of DISPLAY :0.0 to right edge of DISPLAY
:0.0).  The left edge of DISPLAY :0.0 is a hard boundary for the mouse
pointer (as it should be).

Compiz doesn't automatically start on DISPLAY :0.1.  This is the default behaviour in 12.04 too.
For an experiment I tried to start compiz on DISPLAY :0.1 to see if the mouse behaviour changed.  It did not.
The command I ran was
DISPLAY=:0.1 compiz --replace &
