Distorted mouse cursor (dual-head)
 
Hey everyone
I'm using an Acer Aspire 5670 (ATI Radeon x1400) in a dual head config. My problem is on my secondary monitor (Old Dell 19" CRT) running at 1024x786 or 1280x1080. The cursor on this display takes the shape of a 100x100 distorted square, which looks something like the image on the main display (laptop LCD, 1280x800). When the CRT is set to 1280x800, the cursor is normal. Does anyone know what's causing this behavior? Thanks

Fixed!!
 
I decied to remove the Kubuntu drivers and installed the latest driver from the AMD website. This greatly improved my speed and fixed the mouse issue!
