I think this problem is more generic.  I have an ATI x1400 using the
radeon driver on Ubuntu Karmic and I see the same problem.    Right
screen is laptop 1920x1200.  Left screen is 1280x1024 LCD.  I have the
pointer issue, but also the window manager places desktop icons off
screen.  If I place the screens so that they join at the top corner I
can't see icons (and desktop applets) that are at the bottom.  Vice
versa if I join the screens at the bottom corner.  The WM thinks I have
a 1280x1200 desktop with a 1280x1024 fixed view.  Further, if I unplug
the external display, the WM continues to operate as if the display was
attached and new applications are frequently launched on that display
and I have no access to them.  I see my comment here is the same as
Necrathex.   I believe the original report here is a symptom of a larger
problem.  Fix that larger issue and alot of these symptoms will go away.
Hopefully this problem can be addressed for the next version of Ubuntu.
I have yet to see any of the bugs I have filed in the last few years to
be addressed.
