Mouse cursor moving beyond the screen size

Hi all,
I think my previous thread got marked for deletion. So I am making a new one.
Every time I move my mouse cursor to right of the screen it goes beyond my screen 1920x1080(15inch) screen.
output from lsmod :

output from lspci -k

xrandr output:
https://pastebin.com/Qy86nzX

Don't see any xorg error logs!

About the system:
Lenovo X1 Extreme (16gb ram, 1080p, 512+500gb ssd, 1050ti graphics card)

Let me know if there is any other command that I need to run to  provide more info.

Re: Mouse cursor moving beyond the screen size

Are you using xorg or wayland, and what DE/WM are you using.  Usually with something like this, it is a bug in the WM/DE or some misconfiguration of the xorg server.  Also, your xrandr link seems to be broken.

Re: Mouse cursor moving beyond the screen size

Do you actually have two monitors connected to your system?  If not, the mouse is probably just going to where the second monitor should be.  Try moving the xorg.conf (to xorg.conf.bak or something) and see if you can still run X.  If not, just move xorg.conf back and all your settings will be restored.  But that xorg.conf is set up for two monitors, so make sure you actually have two connected when you try it.

if I move my xorg.conf then x doesn't start.
