Doc Text:
When running the X.Org server with the "r500" video driver, an attempt to use the system-config-display utility to enable dual head mode with the "Desktop layout" option set to "Individual Desktops" could render a user unable to move the mouse pointer between the screens. This update corrects this error, and the use of the "Individual Desktops" option no longer confines the mouse pointer to a single screen.
