Description Aaron Plattner 2007-08-24 15:21:26 UTC
When X is configured with two screens on a single GPU (so-called "Zaphod" mode), the mouse cursor is confined to the rightmost X screen.

Server was built from git commit 37954c019afd92edbe4aaa9d6deb6efaad7bf088.

This isn't a driver specific problem? Try with the evdev.

Maybe others input drivers may also apply this analog commit:

Thanks Tiago, this indeed works with the evdev driver.  Moving from Server/general to Input/Mouse.
Comment 3 Tilman Sauerbeck 2007-09-19 14:25:42 UTC
I pushed the same fix to xf86-input-mouse in 
8d329a4a23cdaa970e41fa33ee2babc4687189f2.

May I make new releases of -evdev and -mouse from the master branches?
Comment 4 Cruz Enrique 2007-09-25 07:54:20 UTC
I think so. It's annoying use alt+space to "center" the cursor (then use move in a active window).
Comment 5 Tilman Sauerbeck 2007-10-03 05:12:38 UTC
Closing, the fix landed in both -mouse and -evdev.
