Last modified: 2012-11-23 05:15:34 EST
Description of problem: I have dual head (true dual head, no xinerama, but :0 and :1) and I can move cursor from one screen to second without problem. But near bottom of the screen is something like invisible wall and I could not drag mouse through this area. The monitors have different resolution 1280x1024 and 1600x1200 rotated using xrandr to 1024x1280 resp. 1200x1600. But the barrier start at 1150 (on monitor with height 1280) resp. at 1180 (on monitor with height 1600).

This issue has been proposed when we are only considering blocker issues in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. ** If you would still like this issue considered for the current release, ask your support representative to file as a blocker on your behalf. Otherwise ask that it be considered for the next Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. **
I tested packages from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=623083#c6 and interesting thing happend. I can move cursor from right (bigger) to left (smaller) screen as previously. But if I try to move cursor from left to right is is not possible. On whole right edge of left screen is that invisible wall and only place where I can go from left to right is that small area of 1 cm at bottom, where previously was that invisible wall. I.e. that invisible wall negated on left window.
Thank you for your bug report. This issue was evaluated for inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Unfortunately, we are unable to address this request in the current release. Because we are in the final stage of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 development, only significant, release-blocking issues involving serious regressions and data corruption can be considered. If you believe this issue meets the release blocking criteria as defined and communicated to you by your Red Hat Support representative, please ask your representative to file this issue as a blocker for the current release. Otherwise, ask that it be evaluated for inclusion in the next minor release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: In some multihead scenarios when both monitors are rotated, the cursor confinement code produces incorrect results. This may manifest as the cursor being allowed to disappear offscreen when it should not, or as being prevented from entering some areas where it should be allowed to go. As a workaround, disable rotation.

This request was erroneously denied for the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The error has been fixed and this request has been re-proposed for the current release.
Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as exception or blocker. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Should be fixed in 6.2, please reopen if not.
