[Bug 373367] [NEW] Pointer goes offscreen on non-rectangular dual-head

[Ludovico Cavedon]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

On a non-rectangular multi-monitor layout (e.g. when using monitors with
different resolutions) the mouse pointer can be positioned outside the
areas displayed by the monitors.

For example, with a configuration like
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 3200 x 1200, maximum 3200 x 1200
VGA connected 1920x1200+1280+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 518mm x 324mm
LVDS connected 1280x800+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 304mm x 190mm

The mouse pointer and some graphics part like dropdown menus can go in
the non-visible area below LVDS.

It is the same symptom as bug #119417. However this bug is for the Intel
chipset. I am opening a separate bug as indicated by
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-
drivers-180/+bug/119417/comments/11

Thanks
