Timo, I just tested it out with the same hardware under Gutsy (7.10) with all patches/updates. The problem seems to be fixed. The mouse pointer is persistent in both the internal and external display through multiple cycles of switching between displays (internal, external, both, internal, external, etc.).
The only related issue that I see now is that the mouse pointer is not rendered correctly when in the "external display only" mode (it is correct under both of the other modes). The pointer appears to be rendered in the wrong color palette, or in reduced color mode, or something like that. It almost appears to be inverted in color and the shadow is sharply pronounced instead of transparent (while the pointer itself still seems to retain some transparency. Oh, wait. I spoke too soon. I had turned off the projector, but wanted to turn it on to see if I could capture an image of the poorly rendered mouse. I turned the projector back on and switched to external mode. Indeed, the pointer was poorly rendered. I switched to dual display mode and everything looked great. I switched back to internal display only mode and the pointer disappeared. :o( Another cycle through the modes hasn't brought it back. Oh, and I can't get the mouse to appear in any screenshots. Is there a trick to that? Anyway, thanks for following up on this bug. Good luck!
