Public bug reported:
I'm running Feisty on a Dell Optiplex GX280. I recently upgraded the
video system with a dual-head Radeon card and two 1680x1050 monitors,
and it's almost working fine using Xinerama. The only problem is that
the mouse pointer isn't updating its appearance properly when I'm
positioned in the secondary (right-hand) monitor. Whatever shape the
cursor had in the primary (left-hand) monitor, it keeps that same shape
no matter what I'm doing on the right. For example, if the mouse
pointer is the default arrow shape when I move it onto the right-hand
monitor, it keeps the arrow shape even if it ought to be changing to a
pointing finger (for a web link), or a "resize", or a "please wait".
In particular, this makes it very difficult to resize a window on the
secondary monitor, because I can't tell when the cursor is in exactly
the right position to drag the window border.
Any ideas what might be causing this sort of misbehaviour?
FWIW, I did try using Big-Desktop, but I abandoned that method because
it wouldn't give me a combined screen resolution higher than 2048x768
(yecch).
