I have also had the same problems reported in this bug report. My setup is: OS: Ubuntu Maverick 10.10 64-bit Kernel: 2.6.35-30-generic Video: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G92 [GeForce 8800 GT] (rev a2) Monitors: Dual ASUS VK266H in DVI-D mode. When the mouse cursor dissapears on my primary screen but still works on my secondary screen, the follow dmesg occurs: -------------------------------------- Sep 8 21:37:04 qpp-iscsi-maverick64

mention: No switching to VT's, use of monitors program crashes machine, happens only after running the machine for some hours. I think I triggerred the bug this time when I had a qemu virtual machine running (actually three at the same time) and I was moving the mouse in and out of the virtual machine in usb tablet mode. I am currently testing patched kernel 2.6.35-30-generic #55~lp583760v201107071554ller (rev 10) so lets wait a week and see what happens. Quinn
