I have given up on google searches for this, I can't seem to find the common term for this so my searches have not been fruitful. I want to make it so that when I move the mouse to the right edge of my screen, then keep moving it right, it comes out on the left side, Actually I want this effect on the top and bottom since I have 2 screens stacked one on top of the other, and my xorg config required the top one be configured as the bottom (don't ask, long story) so I want to use rollover so that I can still move the mouse up and have it go to the top screen.

Also what is the correct term since rollover obviously isn't it.


I am using xorg 7, nvidia drivers, awesomewm as windows manager. Gentoo linux, latest.

What you are referring to is the Active Desktop Borders function.

Apperently that is KDE only, I use AwesomeWM. In Awesome it is called mouse warping, in many WM's is is called mouse wrapping, and it is not a feature of X, but a feature of the windows manager.

I have been looking for this all day and thats what I found.

Awesome3 has mouse warping, but it does nto work w/ my screen configuration :-(
