I beg to differ on the "fixed in Oneiric". I am seeing the issue in Precise Penguin on another machine of mine. Although the behavior is not exactly the same, it is very similar.
The Precise Penguin machine is setup with a Windows XP Virtual Machine using Virtualbox and also has dual monitors. The issue occurs when multiple programs are open, namely Powerpoint and GoToMeeting. It almost always occurs when the user moves a window from one monitor to the next. The mouse blinks rapidly, but is not "stuck". However, it is very difficult to see and control. When this issue occurs, Xorg is spiked. To resolve the issue, I use a remote desktop client from another computer to access the Virtual Machine (Windows XP). I close all programs she has open. I don't have any issues seeing or controlling the mouse from the remote session. Once I have closed all programs, she is able to see and control the mouse as normal. I have her shut down and restart both the VM and the physical box. Given the issues I am seeing, I would not consider this fixed in Oneric. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/570151 Title: mouse stuck jumping between screens Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: This url pretty much has the exact description of the problem I have http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-818488-start-0.html and their solution was to downgrade to xserver 1.6 but I don't see how to do that with ubuntu. I have two 8800GTS video cards and two monitors on each card. With Xinerama enabled and moving the mouse between screens the mouse will get stuck. At that point Xorg will increase in memory usage very quickly it looks like a hundred megs every couple seconds. I can go to another machine and kill Xorg then it will restart and I can use the system again but this is very frustrating. This setup has been working fine for a long time now but it seems that Xinerama is xorg 1.7 is just kind of broken.
