Mouse cursor not making context changes on secondary monitor
Last modified: 2018-04-11 02:45:33 EDT
Description of problem: Mouse cursor does not change to context appropriate cursor on secondary monitor in dual monitor configuration. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Mouse over things on secondary monitor. 2. Mouse does not change from text cursor to arrow or other cursors. The problem appears related to the second monitor. The mouse cursors fails to change when mousing over things in the second monitor (the left monitor in the attached xorg.conf file). It also fails to change if moving from a maximized window on the primary monitor to the secondary monitor. Actual results: Mouse cursor doesn't change to context appropriate cursor on secondary monitor Expected results: Mouse cursor should change on secondary monitor to context appropriate cursor Additional info: I've disabled dpms in my xorg.conf configuration because it was incorrectly handling my ViewSonic VX910 monitors connected to a video switch.

Thanks for the bug report and sorry for so late response. Could you, please, attach your X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachment using the bugzilla file attachment link below? Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf whatsoever and let X11 autodetect your display and video card? Attach to this bug /var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt as well, please. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.
