Bug Description
After connecting an external monitor, the touchpad starts moving much faster in the horizontal direction than in the vertical direction, as if the screen area had been stretched rather than extended to include the area of both monitors. This is really disorienting, throws off muscle memory, makes it hard to move in the right diagonal direction, etc. Reproduced in both natty and oneiric.

Hello Anders,
Thank you for reporting this bug and help making Ubuntu better. In order for this bug to be forwarded to upstream developers, it needs to be well-documented.
Please connect the external monitor then run this command from your terminal: 'apport-collect 825548' (without quotes).
Thanks.
