@ Daniel P: Sorry but I think there is some confusion. The typo bug in http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=78f94f19aab66a1e5331df0ce29f36e310b4195d has already been patched and a fix committed in Ubuntu (see Bug #650539) It has been already delivered via maverick-proposed.

@Alejandro: The confusion is my fault, in not keeping which was which organized in my brain while replying. Sorry, when I posted it on OIDK, it was because - though I had gotten the mouse issue fixed - Skype would crash. I patched other things as I found them, but the typo was causing it to crash with Skype and some other programs. The typo had nothing to do with the mouse being stuck, I think that was one of the math issues. The biggest problem is that I didn't take notes. Honestly, as selfish as it sounds, I just wanted to fix my own system. I was so completely fed up with it freezing on me at least once every day, and none of the other distros seemed to do what I needed and work stably with my triple- head setup. I even contemplated either dropping one monitor or switching to Windows until a fix was made. I had never done it with the intent to put the fixes out in public, but it worked on two other machines with my employees, so I put it up. If others use it and it works, great.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 570151] Re: mouse stuck between screens with xinerama
Just an update: since patching and installing the package I mentioned earlier, I've had zero issues. In fact, I've actually noticed more stability with Flash and some better graphics acceleration for some animations, as well as fixes for other issues I had here. For example, trying to watch YouTube or other FLV/tube-style videos in full-screen mode would only show at a size of about 30% of the screen, while the remainder of the screen would flash in bright, annoying colors. @Alejandro: Sorry, I hadn't noticed your question from before. It was a typo in a variable name from the original package. I learned later on that the upstream had already discovered it and fixed it, but it wasn't yet making its way down the pipe to us.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 570151] Re: mouse stuck between screens with xinerama
I had tried KDE, different configurations with GNOME, and upgrading from
10.04 to 10.10. The best resolution was the upgrade, but that
introduced a new issue. However, now I'm running a fully-functional,
non-crashing GNOME over Xinerama with absolutely no problems moving
between my three monitors. No guarantees it'll work for you, but I put
up the .deb's with a known-working copy of the NVIDIA driver for my
setup (possibly applicable to yours as well). You can read a short post
on it and download the packages from here:
http://links.parasane.net/enxr
I had entitled the post Skype and Google Earth Causes X To Crash On
Ubuntu 10.10 because that was the issue of the day but to my
pleasant surprise, it also fixed the freezing issue. No more SSH'ing
into the box to sudo kill -9 `ps -ef | grep /usr/bin/X | grep -v grep |
awk {'print $2'}` and no more lost work and grunts of frustration.
Here's hoping it works for some other folks out there, too.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 570151] Re: mouse stuck between screens with xinerama
As promised, an update: For the first time in months, I was able to get through a full week without a single crash. Unfortunately, the week was instead plagued with slower response times (whereas GNOME's response to things like swapping windows would take 1ms, KDE would sometimes take as long as ~3s to redraw, focus, and control). It's also overloaded, by default, with so much eye candy that bogs the system down. Trimming out what I consider useless - as a developer who spends time in a formula CLI GUI - improved the experience a bit, but it still has some work needed to get it where I want it. This week was minimal in that regard, as I wanted to give a good, full account on a setup as close to the apt-get default install as possible. So, just to close with a quick summary of pros vs. cons: PROS: * No crashes or freezes during seven-day test window --- improvement from =1 crash per 24 hours. * Very, very easy to install, thanks to apt. * Easy enough to switch back to GNOME at will. * NO CRASHES, NO LOSS OF WORK! WOO-HOO CONS: * Bloated, heavy, slow, and a bit juvenile in appearance. (NOTE: Until switching to Ubuntu from Mandriva, I had always preferred KDE.) * Relatively slow response times to input from control devices. * Need to re-familiarize myself with keystroke combinations in KDE vs. GNOME. * Not a fan of the new menus and navigation structure. * Too much eye candy for my personal preference. * Memory utilization notably higher in KDE, even during extended idle periods. * A few times, applications drawing to center screen left a whiteboard - where you drag other windows over and it leaves their foreground on top of the screen on the whiteboard area - until the processes were killed or died. * For whatever reason, ~/Desktop doesn't display on the GUI desktop as icons. * Window and widget edge detection doesn't always seem to calculate properly with relation to the physical aspect and available space of the screen. * Window swapping would sometimes cause a window not selected to gain focus. * Clicking borders of some windows to try to gain focus caused them to minimize to the center. (Perhaps a feature?) That's about it for now. In a bit of a rush to get out to finish some high-priority stuff before the US holiday weekend here, so my apologies if these notes appear a little skewed.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 570151] Re: mouse stuck between screens with xinerama
Today it happened three times in under an hour. The first two between displays one and two, the third - for the first time ever for me - between two and three. The only difference on the third occurrence was that I was attempting to play a Flash video (SWF) in VLC. I'm sure it's completely irrelevant, but since it happened (as I pressed Play) simultaneously with the first freeze between the second and third displays, it may be worth mentioning. Well, after the last crash, I'm fed up. The loss of work is nearly rivaling the decrease in productivity I'll have if this keeps crashing versus giving up a display but I'm trying one final thing: KDE. This evening I converted from Ubuntu to a bastardized version of Kubuntu (I just overlayed KDE, leaving everything else - including GDM - in place). I'm unsure it will be any better, but at the very least, the triple-head display worked right off the bat. And for me, coming from Mandr(ake|iva) after the better part of a decade, where it didn't work at all, I'm already impressed. I'll give it a week and come back with my findings. If it repeats, I'll drop GDM in favor of KDM. If it doesn't, it may at least narrow it down to something in the upper-level DM layer. -- mouse stuck between screens with xinerama https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/570151 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Also, with mine, I can still move the mouse vertically (despite its continued blinking between displays), but there is no response from anything else whatsoever. -- mouse stuck between screens with xinerama https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/570151 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 570151] Re: mouse stuck between screens with xinerama
@Daniel, on the video it was between screen two and three, but it also happens to me between the first and the second. I can also move the mouse vertically, but everything else is dead not even Ctrl-Alt-Backspace works. Hopefully this bug can gather enough people for some expert to look into it. I have been with linux since 6.10, and extremely happy with it. Then, I did not have multiple monitors, I added my second monitor at around 8.04 and everything worked beautifully with twinview. Since 9.04 I added my third monitor and had to switch from twinview to Xinerama, everything worked perfect until 9.10. Now in 10.04 this bug has hampered my productivity a lot. Going back to fewer monitors is not an option, once you go double or triple, is impossible to go back. I wish multiple monitor support (3+) gets a lot of attention soon. I cant believe, linux, being the workstation grade OS it is, has such a wimpy multi-monitor support. We can't possibly be the only ones needing 3+ monitors support. -- mouse stuck between screens with xinerama https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/570151 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 570151] Re: mouse stuck between screens with xinerama
This issue has been plaguing my triple-headed setup as well, keeping me from adding a 32 HDTV as a fourth monitor for a combination of multiple-network monitoring, better media capability, and bragging rights. One thing I noticed: while trying out a few Playstation emulators, one caused my primary display to resize to 640x480, and it couldn't be resized without rebooting the machine. However, the entire time it was set to that resolution, the system was stable --- for the first time since going to 10.04+GNOME (and, indeed, Ubuntu in general --- I'm a relatively-new convert from Mandriva+KDE with regard to desktop). For posterity, my current xorg.conf is attached. (Subject to change multiple times weekly, mind you, as I continue to attempt to find a resolution. ;-P) Things of note: 1.) The mouse will hang at least once per day, seemingly at random, and sometimes multiple times per day. 2.) The mouse will *ONLY* hang between screens zero (0) and one (1). There has never been an issue with the other screen seam. 3.) Screen 0 is on an nVidia GeForce 8400 GS, while Screen 1 and Screen 2 are on an nVidia GeForce 9400 GT. 4.) Again, while Screen 0 was at 640x480, there was no issues for 14 days.

I've been dealing with this since I switched to 10.04 a couple months ago. It happens regularly (every 2-3 days), but I don't know exactly how to reproduce.

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 563100 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/563100 I don't think my bug is a duplicate. If you look at my xorg.conf you will see that all the displays are in order. So there should be no issue with a signed number or not dealing with negatives like the other bug. If this was the same bug then the RightOf workaround would work and it doesn't for me.

Hmm I did not know that xinerama was deprecated. So what do they suggest be used? Eyefinity is only for ati cards and not ready on linux yet. RandR did not get gpu object support so that does not work with multiple video cards either.

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 related. ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #25166 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25166 -- mouse stuck between screens with xinerama https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/570151 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
