OS: Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 LTS Karmic
HW: Laptop, HP Pavallion dv7-nr1451, ATI Radeon

Using amdcccle, I have successfully set up an external monitor to my
laptop.  The laptop LCD is display / desktop 1, the external monitor is
display / desktop 2.

Everything works fine -- e.g., display 2 has two viewports, display 1
has nine; each display has it's own panels, etc. -- except I cannot move
the mouse cursor between displays EXCEPT with an external USB mouse.

I have the displays set up so that the external monitor (display 2) is
to the left of the laptop LCD (display 1).  With the USB mouse, I can
move between displays freely, as one would expect.  With the built-in
touchpad, however, I can move the mouse cursor around just fine -- even
on display 2 -- but once the mouse cursor enters display 1, I can no
longer move it anywhere except on display 1.

If this "trapping" of the mouse cursor on display 1 held for both the
touchpad and USB mouse, I probably be able to figure it out.  But the
fact that the "trapping" only occurs for the touchpad is what has me
stumped.

Thanks.
