It doesn't solve my problem, namely 2 separated X screens
Changing from nouveau to nvidia solves the problem.
The same xorg.conf, just changing the driver to nvidia, has to separate screens without mirroring.
Didn't even need to use nvidia-settings. I do not really need nvidia and was happy with nouveau and Kernel Mode Setting (KMS), but for the time being will use nvidia.

Don't know where the problem is.
Downgraded again, but I will try to fiddle with my Xorg.conf, see if I get over the mirroring problem.

Can confirm this.

]]>Downgrading the three aforementioned packages worked, at least it's a quick workaround. Thanks to everyone!
I tried using nvidia-beta (from the AUR), it did not fix the issue.
]]>Same problem here.
update. by switching screen 1 "Screen1" RightOf "Screen0" to 1 "Screen1" LeftOf "Screen0" I can get to the other X screen but I cannot return to the first.
Changing
Option "metamodes" "CRT-1: nvidia-auto-select +0+0"
to
Option "metamodes" "CRT-1: nvidia-auto-select +1920+0" #1920 px is where Screen0 ends
for Screen1 had the same result without changing RightOf to LeftOf.
I guess I'll stuck to twinview for now...
]]>nvidia
primary=monitor0 and secondory=monitor1
Left=Left and Right=Right
but xorg
primary=monitor1 and secondory=monitor0
or/and
Left=Right and Right=Left
tested
in xorg.conf
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
Screen 1 "Screen1" RightOf "Screen0"
and
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
Screen 1 "Screen1" LeftOf "Screen0"
@keepitsimpleengineer: Downgrade of the mentioned 3 packages should be fine and solve the issue.

Same problem here. Downgrading xorg-server, xorg-server-common, and xf86-input-evdev resolved the issue.
I have separate X-screens (no xinerama) with xfce and nvidia 304.51-3.
Same problem, since today's (2012-10-14) upgrade which included yesterday's (2012-10-13) with
xorg-server (1.12.4-1 -> 1.13.0-2),
upgraded xorg-server-common (1.12.4-1 -> 1.13.0-2) and
xf86-input-evdev (2.7.3-1 -> 2.7.3-2)
I find it impossible to move the mouse cursor from screen_0 to screen_1 (right of screen_0). The mouse cursor leaves the right side of screen_0 and re-enters on the left side of screen_0. The mouse pointer is stopped at all other edges of screen 0.
Do any of the other of several upgraded xf86-.... packages need to be downgraded?

Yes, downgrading solves the problem.
