@Dan: I believe you are experiencing a different but similar bug -- please open a new bug report. (Even if it is the same bug, it is likely caused by a regression and should thus have a new bug report. But either way, this bug is marked as fixed and will therefore be ignored by Ubuntu

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

I also want to add to comment #71. The only program running on the physical Ubuntu machine IS VirtualBox. -- 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

A similar issue is happening with 12.10 x86-64 and the nVidia 304.43 driver (installed from Ubuntu packages): My setup: two GeForce 8400GS PCIex16 cards. The first card (PCI ID 3:0:0) has two Samsung SyncMaster 2343s connected. They are set up as a vertical TwinView. The second card (PCI ID

I should add that the only way to get the mouse back on the other monitors is to restart the DM. I have tried using xdotool to move between the screens but while the mouse x/y changes as commanded, the mouse stays stuck on the wrong screen. -- You received this bug notification because you are a

I have also tried a dozen varieties of absolute offsets, LeftOf, RightOf, screen ordering and so on... it's very consistently wrong. :-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu.

I want to note that I have not experienced this issue in awhile. That could be because of one or all of these things: 1) The problem has been solved in the software (unlikely) 2) I have not been using a Virtual Machine (could be tied to #3) 3) I have noticed that my memory usage is relatively low

@andrew: I may be wrong, but I think you are experiencing a different bug. Does your mouse cursor behave like the video in comment #15? Nobody has reported seeing this bug since Oneiric, and it went away for me when I upgraded my Natty X server to the version used in Oneiric. So, I believe this

My particular occurrence of this bug has nothing to do with virtual machines, it seems to be an X server or nVidia driver issue, since it even occurs at the login screen, and with any dm (lxdm, gdm, lightdm, kdm...). My mouse does not bounce between the two screens as in the videos, it wraps

@andrew: I'm certain you are experiencing a different bug -- you should open a new bug report. This bug is not limited to nVidia (at least two people here have ATI/AMD video cards, myself included), wrapping around was never a symptom, and this bug was fixed in Oneiric. ** Changed in:
