Public bug reported: When using compiz on a dual monitor setup I get a dead lock in the X server when my cursor moves past the outside of the smaller monitor. My setup is a LVDS 1920x1200 and an external LCD connected to the VGA port at 1680x1050. When I move outside of the 1680x1050 area the X server dead locks.
This is a known bug and has been fixed in the xorg ATI driver.
