Question Mouse cursor does not change to different icons hand etc. on dual monitor setup ( Ubuntu Forums Desktop Environments )

Mouse cursor does not change to different icons hand etc. on dual monitor setup

Recently I updated all my packages to the latest version including xorg-server-core version 10.4. The cursor icon will not change to the appropriate cursor on "Screen 0" when it should, for example hovernig over a link or hovering over a text box.

Example:
When dragging a window from my left screen to my right screen the dragging hand icon for the cursor will remain until I move the cursor back to my left screen.

I suspect it has something to do with my xorg.cong file so I've included it below. Also I am using the "Kubuntu Human" theme for my mouse, however the same situation occurs if no theme is applied.

Code:
# /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the /etc/X11/xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man /etc/X11/xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
#   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

Mouse cursor does not change to different icons hand etc. on dual monitor setup

Mine for mouse is exact as yours for Server Layout and InputDevice for mouse.
I am using dual monitor for nvidia tho. And I noticed that you are not using the ati drivers but the fglrx which is for xgl? That could be the problem.

I have one section at bottom that you don't have:

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen 0 "Default Screen" 0 0
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
InputDevice "Configured Mouse"

Don't know if that applies to you tho.

Sorry couldn't be more help.

Mouse cursor does not change to different icons hand etc. on dual monitor setup

Thanks for the reply. The "ServerLayout" section is at the top of my xorg.conf file. You're probably right that it's related to my graphic card drivers as the recent update have affected it. I'll try to get those working and post if the issue still persists.
