I previously posted about controlling two separate cursors in two xsessions. (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13714831/controlling-multiple-pointers-with-xlib-or-xinput-in-ubuntu-linux)
That solution worked well. However, an odd thing occurs when I control the cursor. Instead of the cursor moving normally and the screen refreshing to adjust, the cursor leaves a trail because the screen doesn't refresh anything EXCEPT the cursor. This only happens when I move the newly created cursor in the second screen. Best I can guess is that when I move the cursor the xsession isn't getting any event notice or something and it never refreshes though I have no idea if that's the issue. I'm sorry I'm a bit vague I'm just having trouble describing the issue. It's like in the old days when the screen would freeze and you would drag the window and it would leave a trail. That's exactly what's happening with the cursor.
Might it have something to do with the fact that it's not in the xorg?
