Re: [Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 563100] Re: Mouse movement corrupted with Xinerama enabled
Alex: You keep talking about it crashing. The original bug report doesn't mention crashing at all, just that the pointer doesn't move the same direction as the mouse.

Re: [Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 563100] Re: Mouse movement corrupted with Xinerama enabled
That is the work around, but the hope is that we have fixed the underlying bug. I have to admit that I have tried the ppa package, but I am glad it seems to be working. It sounds like the LTS package maintainers have two choices. Either add this patch into the current LTS release version of the package, or upgrade the package to the fixed upstream version. Can someone find out which version of the upstream software has the fix included? On 06/15/2010 09:28 AM, Mr. Francis J. Ball Esq., wrote: Many thanks to Mr. King ! ! !

For bugs in stable releases: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates Bugs in general: For plain old patches that are not upstream yet, subscribe ubuntu-reviewers and add the patch tag (if the patch had been actually attached to the bug and marked as a patch rather than just linked, this would have been automatic). That team will review the patch and send it upstream. If it's urgent (ie, can't wait for a new upstream release and just go into a future version of Ubuntu), someone on that team will find someone to make a debdiff (or do it themself). For debdiffs or already-upstream patches, subscribe ubuntu-sponsors. Of course, if the person in the Reviews team who comes across the bug has upload rights, they can push things through pretty quickly. I don't have upload rights for main, so while I could do the debdiff and put packages in my PPA to get the fix confirmed by all you folks, I still needed to point Alberto over here and ask him to sponsor it. If you'd like to help move such things through faster in future, learning to make debdiffs and upload test packages to a PPA would be helpful. Having your packages tested confirmed helps make an easier case to the SRU team. PS: there is an effort to get all patches currently attached to bug reports on Launchpad reviewed (sent upstream if good, rejected with explanation of what's wrong if bad, forwarded to sponsors if upstream) by the time 10.10 is released.

As you said, your bug doesn't involve negative numbers; thus, you are not experiencing this bug. The debdiff I attached here and the packages in my PPA fix this bug, not your bug.

The PPA contains the patch that's listed on this bug. The lines of code involved don't look like they would affect that (they only make it possible for the mouse to move to one of the quadrants of the grid that involve negative numbers, like (-50,-200)).
