Bug Description
On two machines, I've experienced a corrupted cursor. The cursor image seems to be 'cut in slices' and put back in the wrong order. The corruption is not easy to reproduce. When it does happen, it seems to happen after moving of the cursor between the different monitors.
Configuration of the two machines:
- Both machines have a dual screen setup.
- Both machines are Dell desktops with an ATI graphics card.
- Machine 1 has a R500 graphics chip, machine 2 a R600 graphics chip.
I've seen the corruption on Intrepid and Jaunty. The Intrepid installations were running KDE 4.2 from PPA. The Jaunty installation was at beta.
The problem occurs with different drivers, both fglrx and xf86-video-ati have this problem.
Restarting the X session doesn´t restore the cursor. Only a reboot seems effective. Changing the cursor theme in KDE's system settings also has no effect.
I'm unable to make a screenshot of the mouse cursor. When I make a screenshot using the GIMP, and tell it to include the mouse cursor, it captures a correct mouse cursor. Attached is a photo of poor quality (blame my phone), it however shows the problem.

Hi nielsslot,
Thanks for including an image to demonstrate the issue. Could you also please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn`, and attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log or Xorg.0.log.old file from after reproducing this issue. If you've made any customizations to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please attach that as well.
