Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

Firstly a little background on my setup.  I have an Nvidia GeForce 7200
Video card with dual outputs.  I have two  monitors attached to this
video card. (IBM & SGI) physically arranged in that order.

define: Haywire = The mouse cursor starts flickering and moving on the
screen horizontally without the mouse actually moving.  When this occurs
everything become unresponsive resulting in a hard reset of the system.

The problem I am having is, by default my primary monitor is the SGI on
the right.  When I try to move the location of the IBM from the right to
the left of the SGI monitor using the Nvidia Xserver configuration
tool(ultimately xorg.conf) the mouse goes haywire as soon as I try to
move it off the SGI monitor on to the IBM Monitor.  As long as I have
the monitors set in the xorg.conf file as (SGI & IBM) everything works
fine; excepting that to get to my IBM monitor that is physically on the
left I have to move off the SGI to the right.

Summary:
    Physical Monitor arrangement = IBM  -  SGI
    Virtual Arrangement that works = SGI  -  IBM
    Virtual Arrangement that fails = IBM - SGI

Thanks,

Mickey
