The solution for the CTM problem (which is what causes the wacky cursor jumping) is this patch, which was accepted into upstream on 19 Nov 2012; it is not yet in precise-proposed, but I was able to rebuild xorg- server-1.13.0 (from 12.10) with this patch and the problem went away:
http://www.mail-archive.com/xorg-devel@lists.x.org/msg33742.html There is another version of the patch floating around somewhere if you want to fix 12.04.
