Very happy to see this. I poked that bug to SEVERE last week, and it got pulled from the group queue and assigned to a dev, the work from this thread to make it reproducible seems to have helped. So hopefully we'll see an update soon and the problem will be gone! awsome. -- X.org will stop resp

That error may just indicate a generic xmousepos error, for example I get a very similar message with an invalid param to xmousepos. da...@cylon:$ xmousepos --help X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 38 (X_QueryPointer) Resource id

maybe the fix is to force move the mouse from a different screen to the primary, i'm usually on the second or third screen when it happens, and my script pushes it to the first. I've just confirmed, if my mouse is displayed on the first screen and i break it, it mousemouse 0 0 wont fix it, but mov

Interesting, using Reubens approach i can break it moving the mouse to the first pixel on the last screen xte "mousemove 2880 5" I'm assuming here my config of 1280x1024,1600x1200,1024x1280 results in 2880 being the first column of pixels on the last screen (as the count starts at 0, the rightmos

The RANDR missing error may be the problem, you get this because it's not supported in xinerama, I was just ignoring it (doh!) but I definately see the issue moving from the GPU0-GPU1 boundary which just happens to be onto or off of my rotated screen. i think everyone with the triple monitor/xinera

Awsome, Reuben's script can 100% force the error. my script can 100% fix it, I think this means we are near the end, as if the problem is easily reproducible it should be easily debuggable/fixable. good thinking Tessa, good work Reubin. now how about getting the darn problem fixed core dudes ;-)

tried 'xte mousemove 4000 4000' the pointer disappears but comes back as soon as I move it. not conclusive, but i couldn't force the problem using this technique. -- X.org will stop responding to mouse clicks on Ibex with Xinerama. Occurs frequently, Fatal Error. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bug

Well I've came up with a decent workaround (at least i think so), you can force the mouse and xserver back in sync by using a simple command from the xautomation package. simply forcing the mouse pos to the origin of the desktop forces them back in sync. I've written up a short guide http://www.ge
