@Dan: I believe you are experiencing a different but similar bug -- please open a new bug report. (Even if it is the same bug, it is likely caused by a regression and should thus have a new bug report. But either way, this bug is marked as fixed and will therefore be ignored by Ubuntu developer

[Bug 570151] Re: mouse stuck jumping between screens

I beg to differ on the "fixed in Oneiric". I am seeing the issue in Precise Penguin on another machine of mine. Although the behavior is not exactly the same, it is very similar. The Precise Penguin machine is setup with a Windows XP Virtual Machine using Virtualbox and also has dual monitors. The

@andrew: I'm certain you are experiencing a different bug -- you should open a new bug report. This bug is not limited to nVidia (at least two people here have ATI/AMD video cards, myself included), wrapping around was never a symptom, and this bug was fixed in Oneiric. ** Changed in: xorg-serve

[Bug 570151] Re: mouse stuck jumping between screens

My particular occurrence of this bug has nothing to do with virtual machines, it seems to be an X server or nVidia driver issue, since it even occurs at the login screen, and with any dm (lxdm, gdm, lightdm, kdm...). My mouse does not bounce between the two screens as in the videos, it "wraps aroun

@andrew: I may be wrong, but I think you are experiencing a different bug. Does your mouse cursor behave like the video in comment #15? Nobody has reported seeing this bug since Oneiric, and it went away for me when I upgraded my Natty X server to the version used in Oneiric. So, I believe this

[Bug 570151] Re: mouse stuck jumping between screens

I want to note that I have not experienced this issue in awhile. That could be because of one or all of these things: 1) The problem has been solved in the software (unlikely) 2) I have not been using a Virtual Machine (could be tied to #3) 3) I have noticed that my memory usage is relatively low

[Bug 570151] Re: mouse stuck jumping between screens

I should add that the only way to get the mouse back on the other monitors is to restart the DM. I have tried using xdotool to move between the screens but while the mouse x/y changes as commanded, the mouse stays stuck on the wrong screen. -- You received this bug notification because you are a

[Bug 570151] Re: mouse stuck jumping between screens

A similar issue is happening with 12.10 x86-64 and the nVidia 304.43 driver (installed from Ubuntu packages): My setup: two GeForce 8400GS PCIex16 cards. The first card (PCI ID 3:0:0) has two Samsung SyncMaster 2343s connected. They are set up as a vertical TwinView. The second card (PCI ID 4:0

I'm glad someone finally found a *possible* solution to this, for a lack of a better word, annoying issue. This is especially annoying when having to ssh into the machine to 1) shutdown 2 VMs running, 2) attempt to kill any programs that may cause issues if crashed and 3) finally reboot the machine

[Bug 570151] Re: mouse stuck jumping between screens

I have this problem happening on a number of multi-screen machines with subtly different hardware (some i386, some amd64).

Re: [Bug 570151] Re: mouse stuck jumping between screens

When it was happening to me, I believe an alternative was to login via SSH and kill the X11 desktop session (including the display driver). In my case it was usually quicker to login and just issue a reboot command. FWIW, after getting the latest NVidia video driver for my three-screen system and

This just happened last night to my Lucid 64 ATI, dual monitor system for the 1st time. And it happened again a few minutes ago. Given that this system has been running Lucid with these two monitors for nearly a couple years without this problem, I vote for a very, very recent update. Looking at

FWIW, I haven't seen the issue in a couple days. This is after I installed a Windows XP VM, and now I run my "used to be wine" app as a Windows app in the VM instead. The app is Navicat. Not sure if the issue is because of Navicat or Wine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a m
