[Bug 570151] Re: mouse stuck between screens with xinerama

 

Same problem here. Happened to me on both Ubuntu Lucid and now even on
Natty. I have uploaded a video here with the issue:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pacgICWaA7k

I don't use xinerama. I use the seperate x servers option:
Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier     "Layout0"
    Screen      0  "Screen0" 1280 0
    Screen      1  "Screen1" LeftOf "Screen0"
    InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
    InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
    Option         "Xinerama" "0"
EndSection

My graphic card is nVidia 8800GT and I run Ubuntu 64bit. This has
happened while I was upgrading my Lucid distro to Maverick(probably
firefox and maybe other apps were open, though no skype or google earth
as mentioned in some cases). It generally happens at random points. In
the video it happens while I load a game and move my cursor from the
right monitor to the left. Hitting CTRL+ALT+F1 or any other combination
does nothing. The whole system freezes and a shutdown from thebutton on
the case is needed.
