[aklug] Dual Monitors and mousing around

I haven't done much research on this yet, but thought I'd throw this
out there for a discussion topic.

I just configured my workstation to use my laptop monitor and my extra
monitor plugged into the back as a dual monitor setup.

This has been great. xrandr is your friend.

One of the things I've noticed, however, is that when mousing from the
bottom of the big screen to my right over to the littler screen to my
left, the mouse disappears.

I have to move my mouse up about an entire mouse-length (is that a
word?) before the cursor appears.

I'm sure this has to do with the difference in geometry between the
two screens....just thought it was interesting.
