I also have repeatedly encountered this issue where the cursor gets stuck rapidly and repeatedly bouncing between my second and third monitor. I am running Ubuntu Linux 10.04 32-bit with the latest updates and the latest driver for my two NVidia GeForce GT430 graphics cards. I am running three monitors. When I first experienced this bug, my mouse and keyboard did not auto-detect the appropriate driver, now they do, and the bug still occurs.

This happens on average about once a week. I have had it happen three times in a day. I have never gone more than 3 weeks without this happening. I have lost work because of this. It's extremely annoying - and the issue is apparently

This is a serious issue as the only exit strategy I have found is to reboot the system. The system is effectively hung, even if technically it's not a hang. I can telnet into my system to reboot it, although one time I couldn't even do that!

I have found not tenable solution above. For one thing, I am running 32-bit Linux, so Dan Brown's solution wouldn't be satisfactory even if it was trusted software.

I have synergy installed, but it is not running.

Other people where I work are also experiencing this bug.
