Previously, the mouse cursor worked seamlessly across displays. After
upgrading to the newest xorg version, though, the cursor persists on the
inactive screen after moving across the display boundary. It's as if
the last displayed position on the previous screen isn't erased when it
hops to the next screen.
This doesn't interfere with normal operations, it's just annoying :-).
You're using the closed nvidia driver. Is there any evidence this is
not a driver bug?
i had the same problem and i just tried switching to the nv driver but
the multiple cursor problem persisted. i applied the following patch:

xf86SetCursor(pScreen, NullCursor, x, y);
ScreenPriv-isUp = FALSE;

http://launchpadlibrarian.net/26870925/178_second_cursor_fix.patch
and i can confirm that it fixes the multiple cursor problem with both
the nv and nvidia drivers.
