I believe I have a work-around for this bug. My colleagues and I have been experiencing this problem with our Dell optiplex 745s and ATI cards. The cursor would not change when the mouse was on the right-hand screen, though its position would change relative to its hotspot. If it was a pointer on the left screen it would stay a pointer on the right screen. If it was a grabby hand on the left it would stay that way on the right. Returning the cursor to the left-hand screen would cause the cursor to change to the correct icon.
My lspci shows: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV516 [Radeon X1300/X1550 Series] 01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV516 [Radeon X1300 Pro] (Secondary) We are using the restricted ATI driver. A fellow developer had this to say on our internal wiki: "I got mine going with sudo aticonfig --initial=dual-head and doing a few edits in the resulting xorg.conf, like turning off Xinerama." I will attach the xorg.conf that fixes the problem for me. ** Attachment added: "Working xorg.conf" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/8570002/xorg.conf -- Mouse cursor 'sticks' on screen 2 of dual head display https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/47885 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
