I'm using xorg-server-1.4-r2 with a dual-head setup.
I had a problem with my mouse being locked at one screen and then I found this
bug http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=192657
I had the exact same behaviour, and at first I thought the fix would also
affect me but I forgot I was using the xf86-input-evdev driver for my mouse.
So I applied the patch to the xf86-input-evdev-1.1.5-r1 ebuild by creating
another ebuild and adding the patch.
It was succesful.
Reproducible: always
Steps to reproduce:
The problem occurs every time
Actual results:
X started to Screen 1, Mouse is at Screen 1. If I go to Screen 2 with Mouse,
the Mouse can't go back to Screen 1, but to Screen 3. If the Mouse is at Screen
3, the same Problem.
Expected Results:
The Mouse should go over every Screen and back again.
