Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-core
using: Jaunty beta release, nvidia driver version 180.44 (nvidia-glx-180 version: 180.44-0ubuntu1)
relevant hardware: Dell Vostro 1700 laptop (it's LCD screen is primary monitor) with an LCD monitor (1280x1024 res) connected via VGA.
lspci -nn | grep VGA: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8600M GT [10de:0407] (rev a1)
problem: mouse pointer acts oddly when using xinerama on two (different resolution) monitors. I have encountered three different scenarios:
1) mouse pointer works fine. transition between screens works how you'd expect, clicking works fine.
2) transition between screens works fine, but the mouse pointer clicks where it shouldn't, for instance right now if I were to click on the 'File' menu in firefox I'd have to move the mouse pointer a centimeter to the left of where I actually wanted to click. This problem only seems to occur one the secondary screen.
3) transition between screens is broken, moving the mouse pointer from one screen (usually from secondary screen to primary) past a (seemingly random) vertical line the pointer is reset to the opposite end of the screen it originated in.
Have not figured out a concrete way to fix 3) yet but shifting workspaces or switching windows often seems to do the trick.

Was hoping this was just a jaunty beta bug, but I upgraded to the full version of jaunty and this still occours.
Still no closer to find a way of solving it. Maybe it would help if I attached a video?
