Bug Description
The mouse pointer is fine at boot, but after working a couple of minutes it gets distorted. I move my mouse pointer back and forth between my two screens all the time. The actual distortion happens randomly on the "screen switch" and when I move my pointer on one of my screens. Sometimes I can see a slight distortion and if I move my mouse pointer on top of a scrollbar its back to normal. But just for a little while, then its permanently distorted. And it happens only on one of the screens, never on both at the same time.
WORKAROUND: disabled the fglrx drivers.
