If you have a reproducible case of how this happens, you should log it

information about your system config (ASP will do). Also include info
on your display setup.

Hi Eric,
I just a little while ago tried adding an external monitor to my
TiBook, and I got a very similar problem. While one of the X11 windows
is selected, the mouse is confined to the laptop screen. If I go to
another application, I can move the mouse over to the other monitor
that is to the virtual right of the laptop screen (although the Dock
is on the second monitor I can still click on the background to go to
Finder). If I select the X11 server in the Dock, it immediately warps
the mouse over to the edge of the laptop screen.
Maybe restarting the X11 server will reset its idea of the screen
space? I am busy with X connections so I can't try that without losing
work.
Cheers,

Howdy,
I have a TiBook which I use with an external monitor when I am at my
desk. Now before Apple's version of X11 changing the configuration
would just make the xserver dump core. Now things are better in that
it doesn't always dump core but the mouse seems to get confused about
the size of the visible screen. Right now I have a configuration
where the mouse is confined to a section of the monitor which is the
same size as the laptop screen. However, windows are not confined to
this region they can hang out of it just fine, well as far as I can
move them at any rate.
I assume someone is working on this as there has been some
improvement, any ideas of when it will be really working or
suggestions for how to kick the xserver into reexamining the screen
space available?
Thanks a bunch!
