I have exactly the same problem. I use Kubuntu 12.04 (but I experience the problems for years already), KDE 4.9.2, ATI Radeon HD 5870, fglrx driver.
On my primary monitor the mouse cursor is corrupted sometimes and on the secondary monitor it is always looking good. So by moving the mouse from the secondary to the primary monitor the image gets corrupted and when moving back it gets fix again...?! Additional observations: * When the problem starts manifesting, it happens for all (both OS and application) mouse cursor images. * Restarting seems to only (temporarily) fix. I am happy to provide more information, if required. So please let me know. ** Attachment added: "Image of the corrupted default KDE mouse cursor" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/360724/+attachment/3398091/+files/IMAG0021.jpg ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Status: Expired => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/360724 Title: [RV515] Kubuntu: Corrupted mouse cursor after moving between screens Status in “xserver-xorg-video-ati” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: On two machines, I've experienced a corrupted cursor. The cursor image seems to be 'cut in slices' and put back in the wrong order. The corruption is not easy to reproduce. When it does happen, it seems to happen after moving of the cursor between the different monitors. Configuration of the two machines: - Both machines have a dual screen setup. - Both machines are Dell desktops with an ATI graphics card. - Machine 1 has a R500 graphics chip, machine 2 a R600 graphics chip. I've seen the corruption on Intrepid and Jaunty. The Intrepid installations were running KDE 4.2 from PPA. The Jaunty installation was at beta. The problem occurs with different drivers, both fglrx and xf86-video- ati have this problem. Restarting the X session doesn´t restore the cursor. Only a reboot seems effective. Changing the cursor theme in KDE's system settings also has no effect. I'm unable to make a screenshot of the mouse cursor. When I make a screenshot using the GIMP, and tell it to include the mouse cursor, it captures a correct mouse cursor. Attached is a photo of poor quality (blame my phone), it however shows the problem.
