[FIXED: I used Hardware Drivers to install the latest NVidia drivers
(didn't fix it, but didn't kill my display like the recent NVidia driver
auto-update did), and then ran 'sudo nvidia-settings' to overwrite my
xorg.conf file with its preferred settings -- note that running it from
System / Administration didn't do the 'sudo' and caused all sorts of
grief because it can't save to xorg.conf.]

I've been running the same (manually edited) xorg.conf with an Nvidia
display on a Dell Precision M65 with twin screens (inbuilt is 1920 x
1200; external is 1680 x 1050) since Gutsy.

I finished upgrading to Jaunty on Saturday, and on the single built-in
laptop screen, everything is ok.

Docking the machine at work today, when sliding the mouse left and right
between the two screens, the last mouse cursor bitmap is left on the
screen that the mouse exits. When re-entering that screen, the
"orphaned" mouse cursor bitmap is removed (i.e. at any one time, there
is one "orphan" mouse cursor image, on the screen that the mouse is not
currently on).

Never had this problem before, but it has been a real pain for us to get
these Dell Nvidia cards working properly on any version of Ubuntu or
Kubuntu. (Unfortunately, no one else here uses the twin screens -- they
just use my manually hacked xorg.conf to get the damn screens working at
all.)

Thanks
John
