When changing properties of the mouse by using xset m, the mouse gets stuck and can not be moved, or it can be moved only horizontally. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start bare X (works even in a DE or WM) by "X &" 2. Open a terminal "DISPLAY=:0.0 xterm &" 3. Change to vt7 and run "xset m 1/2 0". If mouse doesn't get stuck, then try to change the mouse setting back to default by running "xset m 2/1 4". Now, mouse gets stuck and can not be moved arbitrarily. Actual Results: Mouse gets stuck Expected Results: Expected mouse to have changed it's properties and not just be unmovable. This is on stable xorg. xorg-server-1.7.6, and nvidia drivers. I have heard reports on xorg-server-1.7.7 and 1.8 also (from IRC #e). It looks like an upstream bug since I was able to reproduce this problem on a ubuntu-10.04 x86 default installation (which runs xorg-server-1.7.6).
