[Bug 1050166] Re: mouse pointer wraps around on first x screen instead of moving to 2nd x screen
The mouse pointer placement is entirely up to X. And its rendering is done in hardware by the graphics driver. Either way, compiz has nothing to do with it. ** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Invalid ** Changed in: compiz Status: New = Invalid ** No longer affects: compiz ** No longer affects: compiz (Ubuntu) -- 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/nvidia-drivers-ubuntu/+bug/1050166/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 1050166] Re: mouse pointer wraps around on first x screen instead of moving to 2nd x screen
Hi 41 .. Thanks for the info, I haven't been able to get your fix working. After trying various ways of login into terminal, x is still running error at the last minute. can't login as root, sudo service lightdm, said instance not running... Looks like I'll try the updating, until edgers or someone does a ppa? nice to know its on the way... Tony Hello Everyone, To commentators #1, 3, and 4: All you need to do is download the Nvidia driver direct from Nvidia. Here are the full instructions if you need them: 1. Download Latest Long Lived Branch version Nvidia driver from 'http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html' for your CPU and make it executable 2. Ctrl-Alt-F1 and login as root 3. sudo service lightdm stop 4.

Re: [Bug 1050166] Re: mouse pointer wraps around on first x screen instead of moving to 2nd x screen
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.

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 ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Just wanted to pitch in and say this is affecting me as well. It is working as a twinview for me, but separate X screens results in the circular looping over just the one screen, as described above. -- 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 ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
