[Bug 563100] Re: Mouse movement corrupted with Xinerama enabled

 

I have the same problem when Xinerama is enabled on NVidia drivers using
2 nVidia 9600GT display adapters and 4 displays. Two of the displays are
pivot rotated and two are not rotated. I'm using ratpoison as window
manager so it's not related to window managers. When I disable Xinerama
the mouse works OK but I cannot "throw" applications from display to
another.

I love Ubuntu, but display system has always been perhaps the weakest
links of it. On Ubuntu 9.04 NVidia display driver (or X or Xinerama or
XRandr) crashed the X every few days. On Ubuntu 9.10 there were mouse
jumping problems and not always possible to move mouse from screen to
screen and in the first releases there was mouse visible on all four
screens at the same time and now Ubuntu 10.04 has this new problem where
it is impossible to move mouse from screen to screen using Xinerama. I
know it's still only Beta 2 but because of history of unsolved problems
I'm really really afraid that this will never be fixed.
