Hi Thomas, Unfortunately that fix didn't work for me. The mouse pointer is still trapped on screen one, after the instal of nVidia 304.60 from the .run file. I used $sudo killall kdm instead of sudo service lightdm stop.
Cheers again for your help....

It doesn't wrap the other way around (left edge of DISPLAY :0.0 to right edge of DISPLAY :0.0). The left edge of DISPLAY :0.0 is a hard boundary for the mouse pointer (as it should be). Compiz doesn't automatically start on DISPLAY :0.1. This is the default behaviour in 12.04 too. For an experiment I tried to start compiz on DISPLAY :0.1 to see if the mouse behaviour changed. It did not. The command I ran was DISPLAY=:0.1 compiz --replace & To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1050166/+subscriptions -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1050166 Title: mouse pointer wraps around on first x screen instead of moving to 2nd x screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1050166/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
