Catalyst: Mouse Pointer looks weird on one monitor

aXyde · 2010-10-10 18:28:19

Hi, i just installed a fresh Arch system (2.6.35-ARCH) and I'm using Xorg (1.9.0) together with the AUR-package "catalyst-test". Now when i start up a desktop environment (i tryd twm and openbox), my mouse pointer looks weird on my right monitor but normal on my left, which is my primary.

Right Monitor (the square on the left is my mouse pointer)

When i tryd to make a screenshot of the problem the image just showed me the mouse pointer as its supposed to be, so i had to make this picture with a camera. The mouse pointer is fully functional just its look is broken. I never had this bug before when using the same hardware together with Arch. When I changed my xorg.conf so that my right monitor is the primary one, the mouse pointer looks weird on the left but is okay on the right.

xorg.conf:

Amichi,

Catalyst isn't working at this time with latest Xorg 1.9, you should either downgrade Xorg to 1.8 or try open-sourced modules.

Ciao!

Please inform yourself before writing these comments.
Catalyst-test is compatible with xorg-server 1.9, otherwise there would be just a blank screen ...

I too am having this issue. Very weird.
