A similar issue is happening with 12.10 x86-64 and the nVidia 304.43
driver (installed from Ubuntu packages):
My setup:
two GeForce 8400GS PCIex16 cards. The first card (PCI ID 3:0:0) has two Samsung
SyncMaster 2343s connected. They are set up as a vertical TwinView. The second
card (PCI ID 4:0:0) has a single Dell monitor attached. Xinerama is NOT enabled.
The monitors are arranged in a "backward" L. The two Samsungs are on the
right as Screen 0, stacked vertically, and the Dell is on the left as
Screen 1.
I can move the mouse between the two Samsungs without issue, and I can
move from the Samsungs to the Dell. However once I am on the Dell, I
cannot move back to the Samsungs. As I move the mouse to the right to
get back to the Samsungs the mouse will "wrap" to the left side of the
Dell instead of to the left side of the Samsungs. It will do this every
time I approach the right side of the Dell.
If I swap the order of the monitors in xorg.conf so that the Dell is on
the right side of the Samsungs instead of the left, then the issue
occurs on the Samsung monitors; when I approach the right side of the
Samsung monitors, the mouse wraps to the left side of the Samsung
monitors instead of going to the left side of the Dell monitor.
This occurs with any dm (tried, lightdm, gdm, kdm and lxdm), and occurs
at the login screen as well. It's entirely reproducible.

Title:
mouse stuck jumping between screens
Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
This url pretty much has the exact description of the problem I have
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-818488-start-0.html and their
solution was to downgrade to xserver 1.6 but I don't see how to do
that with ubuntu.
I have two 8800GTS video cards and two monitors on each card. With
Xinerama enabled and moving the mouse between screens the mouse will
get stuck. At that point Xorg will increase in memory usage very
quickly it looks like a hundred megs every couple seconds. I can go to
another machine and kill Xorg then it will restart and I can use the
system again but this is very frustrating. This setup has been working
fine for a long time now but it seems that Xinerama is xorg 1.7 is
just kind of broken.
