------------
I'm running a 3 screen setup over two Nvidia cards using Xinerma. When the cursor is animating it can not be moved from the screen that it is currently on, when attempting to drag it to another screen it wraps around to the other side of the current screen and continues to do so until the cursor changes back to a static one.

This bug was not present in 8.10 and has appeared since upgrading to 9.04.
------------

Newer versions of the nvidia-driver dont fix the issue and the nvidia-guys say on their forum that this must be an xorg-issue.

Does anyone care about this bug?
You could at least tell us how to disable the mouse-cursor animations so that we can use our xinerama-setups without swearing every 2 minutes.

Xinerama is broken and nobody gives a fuck.
How much money do you want to fix this bug?
