http://askubuntu.com – Possible Duplicate: How do I disable mouse magnet on middle edge with multi monitors? I was able to get a dual monitor setup working in 12.04 beta release recently, using the Nvidia proprietary drivers. So far it has been working well with only minor "out of the box" issues to workaround. The only issue/annoyance that I am experiencing is the multiple Unity Panels (one on each screen). I'm pretty sure there isn't a way to change that right now, but what is happening is if the cursor is moving slowly enough near the Panel in the center of the desktop (just at transition to the two (HowTos)

Turn Off Sticky Edges 15 weeks 2 days ago

I find the sticky edges feature to be quite annoying. I'm using dual monitors and turned sticky edges off, however, when I pan the mouse from one monitor to the other, the mouse snaps to the edge. The only way to get the cursor to move from one monitor to the other is to move the mouse swiftly - but this creates less control for me, and is rather annoying.

Hello,

When I add an extra screen and try to move the mouse between the two screens, the mouse cursor is blocked on the edge of the monitor and I have to move the mouse faster to reach the second monitor.

When I googled for this problem, the solution seemed to be the deactivation of the sticky edge option for monitors (Diplays settinngs).

I'm using a touchscreen and external monitor to occasionally sketch some drawings on the touchscreen. If I need the touch screen I switch it on with a simple xrandr command. xrandr including rotation, touchscreen etc. I have working nicely by now.

I just had a dual monitor set up at work. The primary monitor is directly in front of me and the secondary is to the left. I am seeing an issue with the Mouse cursor movement. To get my mouse cursor to the secondary computer, I must move the mouse to the right. This seems backwards as to go left, I must go right.

I use Ubuntu 12.04 on a two screen setup. Multiscreen on 12.04 has generally become much better, but there is one thing that really gets on my nerves: there's a mouse magnet of sorts on the middle edge (between the two screens). It's undoubtedly there to make it easier to interact with the launcher on the right screen.

Trying on Ubuntu 13.04. First 2 displays on the primary card work like a champ. I've installed nvidia-current and generated my xorg file. Then I go and enable monitor #3 on card #2. Without xinerama enabled, I just get a gray screen and a big ugly X mouse cursor when mousing onto monitor #3. When I enable xinerama, after logging in I get the wallpaper and a mouse cursor, but no panels or unity.

I have a vaio laptop with an ATI Radeon video card and an external screen.

I used to run dual monitors on Ubuntu 10.10 fine, but recently decided to upgrade to 11.10 via 11.04

I don't think it's the video card or the fglrx driver. It seems to be unity.

When I start up, the laptop screen is normal and the external screen is all white, although I can move my mouse over it.

Hi, anyone seen this problem, which I have been suffering with for a couple of weeks.

Basically I am running 12.04 in virtualbox on my HP laptop.
