Bug Description

When using multiple monitors with Xinerama where a monitor exists above the main monitor an issue arises using mouse look in games. This happens in both native OpenGL (Stream) or Wine Games (World of Warcraft).

The game is running on the main monitor which is below a second monitor. When mouse looking in game, the character will look up when ever using mouselook. For a brief moment the mouse cursor will appear in the center of the upper monitor.

My *guess* would be that the game requests the centering of the mouse cursor, since there is a monitor above the main monitor, it centers it in this view and xorg/xinerama does not take into account the extra pixels to the main monitor.

I should note, I created a new install of kubuntu 11.10, same AMD driver and same Xorg.conf file and did not experience the issue.

This is not a fglrx issue - I downgraded to 10.10 and installed the same AMD drivers. Issues went away.
