Sony Vaio VGN FE41Z with an integrated ALPS touchpad:
[ 22.574690] input: AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint as
/devices/platform/i8042/serio4/input/input8
The PC is configured to use two X screens (:0.0 left, :0.1 right). The
primary input device is a Bluetooth mouse which I use all the time when
tethered to the desktop and using the dual screens.
Investigating another user's experiences of changing sensitivity of the
two input devices separately, I was using the touchpad to determine how
much change there is when the gsynaptics sensitivity slider is adjusted.
By chance I dragged the mouse cursor onto screen 1 using the touchpad.
When I tried to drag it back to screen 0 it refused to move beyond the
left edge of screen 1. More testing showed it was trapped on screen 1.
If I use the Bluetooth mouse the cursor returns to screen 0 as expected.
As I said earlier, I always use the mouse when tethered so I'd never
noticed this before.
I'm not entirely sure how this should be debugged so any 'pointers' are
welcome :p
