I don't use zaphod mode, but I understand it was broken for a long time. You might want to file a bug, but hopefully someone can help you out here. -- Dan ___ xorg@lists.freedesktop.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: arch...@mail-archive.com

I like. I tried the radeon driver and surprisingly, at least to me, it has exactly the same problem. It also shows the same output on the two monitors on each video card but presumably I could figure that out if I played with it some. However, the problem with the mouse becoming trapped on Screen1 once it goes there is just the same as with the radeonhd driver. -Dave ___ xorg@lists.freedesktop.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: arch...@mail-archive.com

Maybe you can try using the radeon driver? I know there have been some fixes recently to zaphod mode, although I don't know if that will fix the input issues. -- Dan ___ xorg@lists.freedesktop.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: arch...@mail-archive.com

It's not that the mouse cursor doesn't move, it's just that once it crosses the boundary to Screen1, it can never cross back to Screen0. It just hits the edge of the Screen and stops there, as if there were no Screen above it to move back to. The same thing happens if I reconfigure the screens to be LeftOf or RightOf. The mouse starts on Screen0 and once I move it over to Screen1, it can't ever get back. If I try to configure Screen0 Below Screen1, I can't even get the cursor off Screen0 but I'm guessing that has something to do with Screen1 then having negative coordinates. -Dave ___ xorg@lists.freedesktop.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: arch...@mail-archive.com

mouse gets stuck on second screen
I run a Debian system with two Radeon HD 2600 Pro video cards, each with two monitors. Until a few months ago this was working fine. Then an update came in and Xorg started segfaulting on startup. I found that if I arranged the two monitors on a given card horizontally instead of vertically, it stopped segfaulting but now had a new problem. If I move the mouse cursor to the screen defined by the second video card, it can never come back to the first. It gets stuck over there. It seems this must be something simple in my config file but I can not figure it out. Any suggestions?
