Re: [XFree86] Cursor behavior not as expected on dual display (Summary)

Mark Vojkovich resolved the issue.

The problem was the result of my not specifying the relative position of
the screens correctly.

When using the "Screen" entry in the  ServerLayout section of the
XF86Config file, the absolute position information is specified in
pixels.  I had incorrectly specified the positions of the two screens.

The simple fix was to use relative positioning.

e.g.
  Screen  0 "Screen0" 0 0
  Screen  1 "Screen1" LeftOf "Screen0"
