I've got Ubuntu Netbook 10.04 on my 1024x600 netbook. I occasionally plug it in to a 1280x1024 external desktop at work and someties to my 1920x1200 hdtv at home.

It drives these displays at their native resolution fine, but when I unplug the external display and revert back to my netbook's 1024x600 display, even though all of the windows are reverted to observing the current resolution, my mouse seems to remember the previous (larger resolution). I have to scroll it up to the top left before it appears on screen, and even after I am still able to drive it off the screen to the right or bottom.

Is there a way to reset the mouse to observe the new resolution settings and constrain it withing the 1024x600 geometry?

Thanks!!
