Description Peter Hjalmarsson 2007-09-18 14:26:37 UTC 
I have dualhead working on the following controller:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation NV31 [GeForce FX 5600] [10de:0312] (rev a1)

I have a virtual screen of 2560x1280 spanning over two screens, 1280x1024.
One of the issues I encountered is that when using hwcursor (i.e. not have swcursor true in xorg.conf) i always have one pointer at each screen.

When my mouse moves around on the left screen there is a pointer in the top left corner of the right screen. If I move the mouse over a input/markable field both pointers change accordingly. If I move my mouse over to the right screen the pointer in the top left corner disapperes from the right screen and show up on the left.
With other words: there is always a pointer in the top left corner of the screen where my active mouse-pointer is not.

Option "swcursor" "true" in the device section makes the extra pointer disappere.

This problem seems to be fixed.:-)
