My system has 2 graphics cards and 3 screens. The cursor gets stuck between screens (either pair) several times a day. It only started happening after I upgraded to Lucid. It is beyond annoying to have to reboot the system several times a day. I don't know what they did, but I can't believe that the Ubuntu product is prepared to screw all it's users with multiple screen systems like this - hello - this deserves a "critical" status and a fix pronto. It renders the system so dysfunctional that there is no point in investing any more of my time in this fork of Linux. And I liked Ubuntu and was recommending it to folks. That's not possible any more.

The problem can be reduced by not loitering with your mouse at the divide between screens. But the minute you do - bam! Your system halts. It is unacceptable that this bug has no evident priority attached to it.

I'm also running another system with 2 cards and 5 screens. It's still on 9.10 and works fine. There is no way it is going to be upgraded until this bug is fixed.
