I don't use xinerama. I use the seperate x servers option:
Section ServerLayout
Identifier Layout0
Screen 0
This is still present in 10.10 and 11.04.
Has anyone found a solution?
unfortunately post #29 is not a solution, not because is not trusted, but
because no explanation is given on what was patched.
Also the patched packages and NVIDIA drivers provided in post #29 used are
getting outdated.
Forgot to mention was using the:
Separate X screen configuration without Xinerama.
And this was also occurring to me.
After endless frustrations I blindly trusted post #29 and it doesn't
happed anymore.

Just to add my 2 cents - I run 4 monitors, nvidia drivers (2 8600 GT

happen exclusively when certain apps are loading (Firefox being a prime
example) and I try to move the mouse between screens.

Exact same problem here. I'm using one card and two monitors, with a
single monitor rotated 90 degrees (a configuration that isn't possible
using TwinView). I see the stuck mouse and lock-up probably once a day.

provide traces.
If it helps any, I too am getting this and I've been using gcore to

I've just fixed bug 591104 and now this is killing me.
Who deprecated Xinerama without replacing it? Having now got 4 monitors

anyone would want to be limited to just 2.

Xinerama in general seems to be having problems in Lucid, which is
perhaps not *too* surprising as it's been deprecated upstream for some
time.
Bug #572113 and bug #572192 are similar bugs in Xinerama, and I think
the upstream bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25166 is
likely to be
