Description Christopher Head 2010-12-05 06:29:14 UTC
I'm using dual head mode with x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-195.36.31 (separate X screen mode, not TwinView mode; I don't like the latter as it forces equal DPIs on the two screens). The normal X behaviour is to open an application on one screen and force it to stay there forever (since it's attached to either :0.0 or :0.1), but to allow the mouse pointer to move from one screen to the other. When using my touchpad (and *only* when using my touchpad), the cursor gets stuck on my laptop's internal panel and won't move back to the external screen (unless I push it back over the border with a mouse).

Reproducible: Always
