Bug Description

I have a two-monitor setup, one driven by the onboard Intel graphics, and the other by an ATI HD 5450-powered card, using the radeon driver.

When I move the mouse pointer over the second, radeon-driven screen, I get mouse droppings. I tried to take a screenshot showing this, but the process of taking the screenshot (by pressing PrtSc) clears up the droppings. So does clicking on a window.

Reuben Thomas, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xorg 1340719

Please ensure you have xdiagnose installed, and that you click the Yes button for attaching additional debugging information.

As well, given the information from the prior release is already available, testing a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.

Because of this bug I changed to an nvidia graphics card, so I don't have any further information on it, positive or negative.
