RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Red Hat Product Errata RHEA-2011:1602 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE xorg-x11-server and tigervnc bug fix and enhancement update 2011-12-06 00:51:12 UTC

Description Peter Hutterer 2011-09-01 00:42:31 UTC
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-server-1.10.3-6.el6

How reproducible:
User PointerKeys to move between screens.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use multi-head xorg.conf such as the one attached. Not RandR, it has to be different screen sections
2. Enable PointerKeys: setxkbmap -option "keypad:pointerkeys"
3. Activate PointerKeys by pressing Shift + NumLock
4. Move cursor with keypad 4 or 6 across the screen boundary
5. Boom!
  
Additional info:
QA: this requires ati or nvidia cards to reproduce, afaik the intel driver does not support this configuration so the bug cannot be triggered.
