Hi Thomas,

Unfortunately that fix didn't work for me. The mouse pointer is still
trapped on screen one, after the instal of nVidia 304.60 from the .run
file. I used $sudo killall kdm instead of sudo service lightdm stop.

Cheers again for your help....

Dr Tony Doyle

If you get an error for:
sudo service lightdm stop
Then try:
sudo service gdm stop
or:
sudo service kdm stop

  mouse pointer wraps around on first x screen instead of moving to 2nd

  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 &
