[Bug 363375] Re: [multi screen] mouse position sometimes wrong

 

Hi there,

I also have a four-monitor setup, but my two leftmost monitors are
vertical.  So my "fake Xinerama" would be:

4
0 0 1024 768
0 768 1024 768
1024 578 1680 1050
2704 578 1900 1200

Clearly I have an eclectic mix of monitors ;)  My gfx cards are 2x
Nvidia 9550GT.

I've been getting cursor misplacement issues ever since upgrading to
Jaunty, along with the errors in Xorg.0.log.  My fix has been to move
the mouse pointer into the upper left corner, and keep moving it to the
upper left --- this seems to line them up for a few minutes, then the
problem appears again.

Attempted fixes: I have the patched NVidia drivers from the Bryce
Harrington PPA, and the bugfix in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/357901 (I
also had the dual-pointer problem in #357901, which was fixed by the
patch.)

I can't use Twinview, because of the way Twinview treats my vertical
monitors.. eagerly awaiting a Xinerama fix.
