@andrew: I may be wrong, but I think you are experiencing a different bug. Does your mouse cursor behave like the video in comment #15?
Nobody has reported seeing this bug since Oneiric, and it went away for me when I upgraded my Natty X server to the version used in Oneiric. So, I believe this bug was fixed in Oneiric. If you are experiencing this exact same bug, that's unfortunate and surprising news. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/570151 Title: mouse stuck jumping between screens Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: This url pretty much has the exact description of the problem I have http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-818488-start-0.html and their solution was to downgrade to xserver 1.6 but I don't see how to do that with ubuntu. I have two 8800GTS video cards and two monitors on each card. With Xinerama enabled and moving the mouse between screens the mouse will get stuck. At that point Xorg will increase in memory usage very quickly it looks like a hundred megs every couple seconds. I can go to another machine and kill Xorg then it will restart and I can use the system again but this is very frustrating. This setup has been working fine for a long time now but it seems that Xinerama is xorg 1.7 is just kind of broken.
