Description finnpanther 2011-06-23 14:06:00 UTC
I just upgraded to xorg-server 1.10.2 from 1.9.5. Now I have the following problem: when mouse cursor is near bottom right corner, it gets stuck there until the mouse (the device, not the cursor, which is still stuck) is moved enough, when suddenly the cursor just takes a huge jump to the location where the cursor probably should be with those mouse movements if there wasn't any problem. As it is a bit hard to describe, I took a video (h264) of the problem, it is attached.

This is always reproducible, the mouse gets stuck there every time I move it there.

I just realized today that it is not only the mouse cursor which gets stuck: actually the whole screen just freezes for a moment. It can be seen on the attached video as well: the digital clock doesn't show seconds running when the screen freezes. I haven't found anything noteworthy from logs.

It seems to be ATI catalyst related. I finally found a topic "Putting mouse cursor on system tray = freeze for 1~3 sec" in Arch Linux forums where this is discussed.
