Public bug reported: I have a dual-screen setup with two separate screens handled by one nvidia geforce graphics card.
Bug gets triggered when starting playback (mplayer) on second screen in fullscreen mode, then quickly and repeatedly move the mouse from screen one to two and back. When disabling the hardware mouse cursor in xorg.conf, the problem goes away. dmesg: [28443.474348] NVRM: Xid (0000:01:00): 16, Head 00000001 Count 00243538 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: xserver-xorg-input-evdev 1:2.6.99.901+git20120126-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-16.25-generic 3.2.6 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-16-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 1.91-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDmesg: Error: command ['sh', '-c', 'dmesg | comm -13 --nocheck-order /var/log/dmesg -'] failed with exit code 1: comm: /var/log/dmesg: Keine Berechtigung dmesg: write failed: Datenübergabe unterbrochen (broken pipe) Date: Sun Feb 19 03:17:15 2012 DistUpgraded: Log time: 2012-02-12 12:51:46.485634 DistroCodename: precise DistroVariant: ubuntu EcryptfsInUse: Yes MachineType: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
