[Bug 871665] [NEW] Mouse pointer does not move correctly from a screen to another in a dual-head config - jumps too far

 

Public bug reported:

I have two displays on my Ubuntu 10.04 LTS system, ATI Radeon RV620 LE,
configured as individual screens (no xinerama). One is new and wide-
screen, 1920x1200, and the other is older, running in 1600x1200.

When I move the mouse cursor over the right edge of the left (1920x1200)
screen, it appears on the right screen (1600x1200), but not at it's left
edge, but at quite exactly 320 pixels (1920-1600!) away from the left
edge. The same happens when I move the cursor back to the left screen -
the cursor appears 320 pixels away from it's right edge. Here's a little
video which shows the effect:

The offset is quite exactly 320 pixels (I verified by creating a 320px
wide image in gimp and using it as a scale in 1:1 mode).

I am not sure which package I should point to, xorg, xserver-xorg-video-
ati, or compiz. The problem appeared when I last upgraded to a new
Ubuntu release, it used to work fine before that.
