When I enable KMS on my notebook and switch to a dual-head mode the first time, there is no mouse pointer on the second (external) display. It is still possible to control items on the second head using the mouse - the mouse pointer is just invisible.

Interestingly this problem disappears, if I switch back to a single-head mode and switch again to the dual-head mode. After that, the cursor appears on the second head.

The error also exists within older versions.

You need a newer kernel.  2.6.32 or drm-next.
