I have the problem for about one month after one upgrade. The mouse in left screen is OK. But the right screen cannot display the mouse pointer. In the right screen, the mouse pointer just cannot be displayed. It still can click or right click to open the file or show the menu.
My system: Arch32 + Gnome.
xorg.conf:

Anyone who has the same problem or knows how to fix it?
Thanks.

Hi @all,
I've got the same Problem @Arch64.
Solved it by adding radeon.modeset=0 at /boot/grub/menu.lst file.

Don't know really why, but a solution with KMS enabled would be fine.

Thanks Himmi.Jimmy. Fixed it by following your xorg.conf. I didn't change the menu.lst file.
