"Sticky mouse cursor
Some users reported that the mouse cursor gets stuck when the mouse is moved to
the lower right corner. At least in several versions of Ubuntu using Gnome
desktop and starting with Catalyst 11.4.
That seems to be solved when adding ""load "dri"" to "Section Module" of
xorg.conf."
It doesn't work

Changed in ubuntu:

This bug affects me on Xubuntu, it's been many month and it's really annoying.
Can't we link it to LinuxMint AND to Ubuntu ?

For more technical details, it affects me when I use an external 1680x1050 screen on my laptop. When I use the laptop's 1280x800 screen, it's all fine.

And I just tried adding Load "dri" to xorg.conf, it didn't change anything, as said in the bug description.

Though I can temporarily fix it by launching and closing a full screen game with Wine (Blood Omen through PlayOnLinux).

Ok, I scanned the web and found a working workaround:

type xrandr then find out what your output is, in my case its DFP1, use this script to change res and run it on startup with your window manager... Dastingo is right.. the bug disappears after changing resolutions.. this has been a rather annoying bug for the last 3 releases however this method should circuvent.

script:

xrandr --output DFP1 --mode 1024x768
xrandr --output DFP1 --mode 1600x1200

(Use your screen's native resolution for the second line)
