When starting up X everything works fine until you try to drag the mouse pointer to another screen. When you do, the mouse pointer completely disappears. Even using keyboard shortcuts doesn't offer much help, since they are now tied to the screen you tried to drag the pointer to. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Drag mouse pointer to another X screen than the one it started on by default. Actual Results: The mouse pointer completely disappears, rendering the entire graphical environment almost completely useless. Expected Results: The mouse pointer should seamlessly appear on the screen it was dragged to. xorg-server-1.12.99.905 did *not* have this problem. Blocking 1.13.0 in package.mask causes portage to downgrade all the way to 1.12.4, which does not have this problem either. In case it would have been a driver issue, (like the update to 1.12.99.905 caused) I tried running "for driver in `qlist -IC x11-drivers` ; do emerge -1 $driver ; done", but this did not solve the issue. emerge --info: Portage 2.1.11.14 (default/linux/amd64/10.0/no-multilib, gcc-4.6.3, glibc-2.15-r2, 3.5.0-gentoo x86_64) ================================================================= System

You didn't mention the version of nvidia-drivers you are using. Need to know that.
The x11-drivers that I have installed are: x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-304.43 x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.7.3 x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard-1.6.2 x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse-1.8.1 x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-6.14.6-r1 x11-drivers/xf86-video-fbdev-0.4.3 x11-drivers/xf86-video-vesa-2.3.2
nvidia-304.48 claims this issue solved? "- An X.Org Server hang on input. "
That version isn't in portage yet (not even in the unstable branch), but I'll test it when it gets there.
I upgraded the nvidia drivers to 304.48, but no improvement. The bug is still present unchanged. And the upgrade broke something else as well, so now I can't even log in to X any more. (Posting this from my spare machine.) Oh joy.
Same issue here, just the mouse do not disappear as ismohaa@gmail.com claims, being my second monitor on the left side moving the cursor from the first monitor to the left makes the pointer appear on the right side of the first one. x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-304.48 x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.7.3 x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard-1.6.2 x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse-1.8.1 x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics-1.6.2 x11-drivers/xf86-video-nv-2.1.20 x11-drivers/xf86-video-v4l-0.2.0 x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.13 x11-base/xorg-server-1.13.0 x11-misc/xorg-cf-files-1.0.4 Mouse works (it can move from screen-to-screen) when Xinerama is on or Nvidia's Twinview is activated. There is no relevant evidence of any error on Xorg.0.log and no change at all switching from nvidia-drivers versio 304.43 to 304.48. My xorg.conf is here http://pastebin.com/Qp0Mfer5 and it's being used on a Dell Latitude E6420 with a "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF119 [Quadro NVS 4200M] (rev a1)" (nv driver is not compatible with this card so I can't test with other driver, but probably the reporter can do this test). There are some insights about this in this forum thread. http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-7140362.html
Created attachment 328814 [details, diff] 0001-dix-fix-zaphod-screen-scrossing-54654.patch Looks like Peter Hutterer fixed it. It's hard to say when if it will make it in the next release though: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54654

Patch was added to 1.13.0-r1
