Bug 357901 may have a patch for this. However, reproducing this problem
is fairly easy, you just need to hold down any key. Example:
1) Move your mouse/focus to an application in the second screen (firefox works)
2) Hold down the up arrow for a few seconds
3) Move the mouse around a bit - it'll

Using the new Matrox mtx drivers and Xinerama produces the same behavior.

Neat, I can replicate this bug. If on my second monitor, if I tail the

I just had this problem.
I managed to get mouse warping between screens to work again by holding

So it seems as though there's some kind of interaction going on between
modifier keys and transitions between screens.

alt-tab to a window in the screen you can't reach, and press alt-f7 (move
window toggle) fixes this every time.
You don't even need to move the window, the mouse will be on the other screen,
and the issie will be solved.

To clarify Leon's method a little, the terminal with the Xorg.0.log
trace needs to be on the *secondary* screen, and your enter key needs to
be held down while focused on it. In my case, this will trigger the

This also affects my system (Jaunty 32 bit, GF 6800 using two LCD

until you see it wrap
