Ive got Xinerama set up on two 1600x1200 LCD screens using the proprietary ATi fglrx driver, and everything is working pretty much ok. But one small and annoying problem though: The mouse icon on the second display is always the arrow-type icon. It doesnt change into a hand-icon when you hold the mouse pointer over an URL for example, or when trying to resize a window.

This works as expected on the primary display, but not on the secondary. Any clues what this might be?

You're lucky, the mouse pointer on my second screen is just a garbled square :/

Loke,
Did you sort out the mouse pointer problem?
My dual head setup has been doing exactly the same since I went over to modular xorg. Not too impressed.
I'm running Xorg 7.0
ati-drivers 8.26.18-r1

bos_mindwarp,
I had the same problem but did find a solution. Try adding this to your xorg.conf (in the Module section)
Code:
SubSection  "extmod"
  Option    "omit xfree86-dga"   # don't initialise the DGA extension
EndSubSection
